Friends
The aneutronic nuclear fusion reactor is an experiment expected to go right to harness the fusion power. In my opinion, it presents a better design and its concept is infinitely superior to previous fusion devices.
No one died on Biosphere 2, the company that was running the experiment simply ran out of money.
Check your facts before posting crap on the internet – NOBODY starved to death in Biosphere 2!!
Nobody died in any of the Biosphere missions. You might want to check your sources or whoever you’re drinking with at the time you decide to write your blog.

That is utter rubbish. There were no known deaths due to any of the B2 missions.
I hesitate to say more at this time, but I -would- strongly suggest that you check your facts much more carefully in the future, both for the B2 section and for all other sections.
Bad English is one thing- blatant misinformation is quite another…
I can’t find any references to people dieing in the biosphere. Got any info on this?
no one died in biosphere 2! where the hell did you source that one from?
none of the volunteers involved in biosphere 2 died during the course of the experiment. some were recorded to have lost weight during the first year of the first “mission” but had gained it back by the end of the experiment.
indeed, the biggest problems cited in the biosphere 2 experiment was fluctuating co2 levels resulting in falling levels of oxygen and a failure of business management on the part of the financial backers of the project.
a simple google search would have told you this. do your research.
You’re an idiot.
No one died during ANY of the Biosphere experiments.
The “science” however was corrupted because of the desire for junk food and things not available or foreseen in planning, and these items were passed through an easily accessible hatchway.
One member developed heart problems and was removed through a door to a waiting ambulance.
You’re still an idiot.
WTF no one died in any biosphere related experiment!
According to my knowledge, nobody died during the Biosphere 2 experiment
How does a failed experiment equal “gone wrong”? Just because it didn’t work like expected does not mean valuable information cannot be gathered. Article should have been titled 2 experiments gone wrong and 3 other experiments tossed in because I couldn’t be bothered to do any research for the rest of the article.
The Biosphere 2 section is totally inaccurate. Nobody died. I didn’t bother reading the rest.
Seriously, experiments fail ALL the time, and why bother listing the Aether wind?
Why not mention cold fusion?
The malfunction riddled LHC?
The crashed Mars lander in 97?
The nuclear tests conducted by the French, which destroyed the local ecosystem?
I think there are some stories on Soviet scientists trying teleportation and instead blew themselves up.
Gee, that didn’t take 5 min to come up with 5…
Also, it’s the engineer’s job to use science to produce products. Get it right.
In the nuclear fusion part, you say “hopefully, no one was hurt” and that goes to show that you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Injuries either occurred, or they didn’t. Obviously we would hope that they didn’t, but how about you go check your sources (and try finding some better ones this time) and confirm whether or not injuries occurred.
There’s actually an AIDS vaccine being produced currently that uses small rings of DNA molecules (basically instead of long strands with two separate ends, both ends are attached to form a circle) and inserted into the patient’s cells via electroporation and various other methods. The reason rings are used is because the cell will in fact start responding to the inserted DNA, but only temporarily, as it does not actually alter the patient’s genome. The DNA rings instruct the cells to produce proteins that would otherwise ONLY be present in the body if the virus were present (i.e. proteins produced by the virus, and only the virus) so that the white blood cells develop antibodies to those proteins and in the future could easily fight off the virus. So far it seems to be going well.
Also, I’m going to go ahead and guess that English isn’t your first language…this whole page reads like a very poor, literal translation of some foreign language
Ok and for the last one…seriously? The wavelengths of any visible light are on the scale of nanometers, which is far too small for any human eye to see. Later physicists discovered that light is indeed a form of a wave, although it is also made up of tiny photons. The wave-like nature of light may or may not be a direct result of the wave-like nature of those photons, a common principle of quantum mechanics.
As has been said, no one died in the Biosphere 2 experiment. I did however read that the project was severely compromised. The plants didn’t thrive, and it was later (as I understand it) determined that outside sources had been sneaking food and other supplies into the biosphere. There were also some questions about the scientific value of the biosphere experiment and some questions about the motivations and goals for the project that weren’t exactly scientific.
I have a simple request to the readers of this article. Please write a comment and tell us whether or not anyone died in the biosphere2 project. Some 20 or 30 more responders would clarify matters substantially. Thank you,
I can also add that Chernobyl catastrophe in former Soviet Union was also a result of failed experiment that scientists carried out with the reactor then, so you might want to add that too.
I would like to say thank you for , it is good for me to read English
