I don't see the point in having a 'conventional physics' section in these articles if they're going to be based on Star Trek technobabble - current theory on magnetic fusion does not use supermagnets (assuming this terms refers to neodymium magnets).  I think it would be far better to produce a concise summary and use references to point to articles on the current state of whatever technology is in question

:Agreed. But all of it would be speculation anyway since this piece of technology has been mentioned but not fully explained. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>[http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_Shock_Front<font color="000000">(shockfront)]</font></sup></b> 22:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't Deuterium-Tritium reactions produce a significantly greater amount of energy than the suggested Deuterium-Deuterium reaction? This is why I don't understand why the UNSC would use a deuterium-deuterium reaction rather than the other when the energy output is actually less that it can potentially be.

Supermagnetic?!

I don't see the point in having a 'conventional physics' section in these articles if they're going to be based on Star Trek technobabble - current theory on magnetic fusion does not use supermagnets (assuming this terms refers to neodymium magnets).

Deuterium-Tritium

Doesn't Deuterium-Tritium reactions produce a significantly greater amount of energy than the suggested Deuterium-Deuterium reaction? This is why I don't understand why the UNSC would use a deuterium-deuterium reaction rather than the other when the energy output is actually less that it can potentially be.
