can you run a fusion reactor in reverse so that it produces any element you want using electricity?

You wouldn't run it in reverse. You run it normally and it will produce heavier elements.

With current tech roughly 20 days longer than forever.
How long it would take with future tech depends on what you think the tech will be when you try it.

How does one go about landing on and returning from venus?
Will our tech be able to do it now or will we need to be more advanced?

Getting to the surface is relatively easy, getting off is essentially impossible with current or next gen tech

>>8804445
>>8804440
Yeah, the atmosphere is around 95% CO2, so there would be absolutely nothing to burn on the way back up with modern rocket science
If we could get around this fact, it would be theoretically easier than earth since its around 91% earths surface gravity. Its also 800˚F on the surface and would melt mostly everything though, so theres that.
No real reason anyway, from OP, we already have pictures, its not like we're going to live there one day

Venus is actually hotter than Mercury

Why would you use Farenheit in science ever
If you don't like Kelvin just use Celsius, wich is extremelly easy to translate (Kevin = Celsius - 273)

Is it possible to replace one (or more) of my teeth with a shark tooth? And yes this is a serious question. I drink a lot of soda so I imagine I'll loose some teeth in the future, hence why I'll need a replacement.

Zero chance of life existing on it, since the surface conditions would be similar to a hospital autoclave, but still this is a major discovery.
http://www.space.com/36368-atmosphere-found-on-nearly-earth-size-planet.html
For the first time, scientists have detected an atmosphere around a planet beyond our solar system that's just a little bit larger than Earth.
The exoplanet GJ 1132b, which orbits the dwarf star GJ 1132, is located about 39 light-years away from Earth. It has a radius about 1.4 times that of Earth and is 1.6 times Earth's mass, according to the new study. When the planet was first discovered, researchers called it a potential Venus twin because it's a rocky world with a very high surface temperature — and now, they've found that the planet and Venus might have a thick atmosphere in common, too (although it would have a different composition).

Detecting the atmosphere of a Venus-twin 39 lightyears away is a major step. 20 years ago this would have been front page in every newspaper on Earth.

>the positive energy theorem was finally proven by Richard Schoen and Shing-Tung Yau in 1979, who made an additional technical assumption about the nature of the stress–energy tensor. The original proof is very difficult; Edward Witten soon presented a much shorter "physicist's proof", which has been justified by mathematicians—using further very difficult arguments.

Is there anything more to it than "If you give someone power over other people, there is an increased chance that person will become a major dickhead."?

Nope that about sums it up. It just shows that people in a position of power will inevitably abuse that power, and that people who are in a submissive role will tend to play their part and just accept poor treatment if they believe their abuser has higher authority. Basic human nature.

Those types of experiments which are repeatable across all cultures were originally done to figure out why Nazis were so obedient in following orders and cited as a defense in war crimes trials. The ultimate authority in that case was the Vatican. Invoking Godwin's Law.

That's kind of the point. If it wasn't, it couldn't go that fast.
It's not "immune", but it doesn't have the same issues.
