Why Fusion, Why Now

Fusion has been 'thirty years away' for decades. Several things genuinely changed at once.

Enablers
HTS magnets · computation · open validation

Three shifts make the compact approach credible now: high-temperature superconductors that reach fields impossible a decade ago; cheap, powerful computation for design-space exploration and uncertainty quantification; and an open-science culture that lets a design be validated by anyone. Kronos is built on all three.

Still unbuilt'Why now' explains why the design is credible, not that the machine exists. Kronos keeps that distinction.
