Let’s say we take a piece of Helium.
We’ll weigh it, and call it 2.
Let’s take another of these and slam it into the first one really fast.
What comes out must surely be less than what went in right?
What if it comes out 3 plus 1?
Can there be one that’s bigger?
Or would that be fusion?
How do we know it can’t be 3?
Do we really know our He weighs 2?
If the piece is opened isn’t there a lot of energy there?
How much do you think “it” weighs?
What if I told you that the numbers that fly off are not just a weight per say, but more along the lines of a ratio of the whole piece flying?
That only temperature of the fusion is required to go up or down the scale? (The assumption being that Iron is at the bottom of this scale)
Try this.
Let’s convert Hydrogen Plasma into a number we can deal with.
157,500 deg K (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+13.6eV+%2F+boltzmann+constant++in+fahrenheit)
Want to know something interesting?
Our Suns core temperature, (a Hydrogen burning sun) is almost exactly ten times that.
15.7 Million
I can’t believe this part still escapes them though. Ready? They mention the He, but then forget it as an individual.
When one thing has mass, and it moves, it creates energy. Gravity is an example of this. As observed, gravitational forces will seek “like” matter thus one becomes two, then three, etc. (Make it easy, a cloud) So one to the other, to the other…wait. They always forget that the gravitational pull is now greater too because of the increase in mass and matter. So it gets stronger.
As one is attracted to another and they meet, the mass of the whole increases as does their gravitational effects.
Give it enough of that cloud of “individual atoms of Helium,” (Oh yea, make it plasma though) and 1 becomes 2, becomes 3, 5 Hundred, 20 Quadrillion, more and more dense,which increases gravity even more, pulling in more matter, etc. See how it can now compound on itself and create an environment for fusion? Remember magnetic fields go hand in hand with this. They work as containment.
And the gravitational attractant!!! 🙂
The “stars” then convert that He, through efficient fusion, into every single element down to Iron. (Ie: Converts He energy, into physical matter) simply by a mechanism of convection.
Believe it or not, you now hold the very simple secret to the Universe.
