America's nuclear fusion 'breakthrough' is super-hot ... yet far from practical

"The hohlraum holding the pellet of fusion fuel, a frozen mix of hydrogen isotopes".
Quantitative theory, the basics of which — like the basic axiom and both postulates — you can read in garbage bin here, on the forum — reveal that in a certain molar volume there is always only such a certain number of elements (molar mass); which is proved by the existence of the Avogadro number and the periodic table. As I said and now repeat.
So, hohlraum holding sets the volume for frozen elements, that is initially the volume that is smaller than for tritium and deuterium heated to a plasma state. Also, the heating with lasers destroys all the elements of these two substances, to the smaller elements up to the smallest. After the heating tritium and deuterium, being decomposed into the mentioned elements, are in the original volume of hohlraum (which is small) since its material did not have time to evaporate.
Then everything goes according to the Poincare Recurrence Theorem and my Quantitive: in a given volume, only such a number of elements forms only this particular substance. Judging by what is said in the article helium was formed. The extra matter, according again to the article, prowide some energy. Therefore if the results are replicated by many third parties, then we can say that both the ergodic Poincare Theorem and the Quantitative Theory have received another practical proof by experiment.
My Quantitive theory became the leading theory in Physics, being proved by double-slits, quantum entanglement, perihelion of Mercury, the recent “nuclear fusion” and many others, replacing the old by Einstein.
