  1. Thank you mcwaffles2003!!! I was looking everywhere for this
  2. On this we can agree. I personally highly doubt that solid metallic hydrogen is metastable at atmospheric pressures. My critique is about people saying that's been experimentally proven which it has not been. The 2017 study especially had a lot of criticism from the high pressure physics community about whether they had even achieved metallic hydrogen. I haven't heard much about the 2019 study since it was published. I have linked 2 articles below about this topic. One is about the debate of the 2017 experiment with current models of how metallic hydrogen is expected to behave and it touches on metastable metallic hydrogen. The second outlines the possibility of two phase III structures of metallic hydrogen. https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1016/j.mre.2017.10.001 https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.134101 On a personal note I wasn't thrilled with them including metallic hydrogen but I don't understand how it's getting more hate than a "torchship". Maybe that has the magical popcorn drive KerikBalm invented.
  3. As far as I know no claims of creating Metallic Hydrogen have passed peer review so there is a good chance we haven't even created it yet. Can we please stop trying to use non verified experiments as proof of anything.
  4. How do you get the VASIMR engine to work? I have tried numerous setups to get it going and always get 0 thrust. Thanks
