Quantum computer scepticism

Sabine Hossenfelder, the physicist who thinks a bigger, better particle collider (now that the LHC seems to have discovered just one big thing) would be a waste of money, explains that she has some scepticism about whether quantum computing will ever turn out to be useful, too.

And in the course of that explanation, she comes out sounding sceptical of fusion too. 

So, I'm pleased to have some heavy hitting physicist sharing my scepticism.

Its very much all a waste of money. Your instincts are good here. The people working with all this gear have not followed the scientific method in decades.

There is no way you generate heat with fusion.

Einstein’s energy mass equation is such horse-shit
