no, a 51% attack is another thing. That consist in the ability of rewrite a significant number of blocks, allowing a double spend. In order to do that you "only" need the 51% of the hash power for a certain period of time (depending on how much you want go in the past). In the previous reply I was talking about the control of consensus.
