>A long-standing discrepancy between predictions and observed results in test reactors has been called “the great unsolved problem” in understanding the turbulence that leads to a loss of heat in fusion reactors
>In a result so surprising that the researchers themselves found it hard to believe their own results at first, it turns out that interactions between turbulence at the tiniest scale, that of electrons, and turbulence at a scale 60 times larger, that of ions, can account for the mysterious mismatch between theory and experimental results.
So basically they forgot the fact that a single pebble thrown into a pond causes ripples; or that a candle can light a room? Sounds like they forgot to apply the KISS principle and over complicated things a bit; which I can safely say, I probable do at least once a day.
