As with fission, the energy released by nuclear fusion can be enormous, again because of the conversion of mass into energy. Gram for gram, nuclear fusion liberates even more energy than nuclear fission-between three to ten times as much. Nuclear fusion powers suns and other stars. Scientists beleive that the sun is [sic] formed when a huge quantity of interstellar gas, mostly hydrogen, condensed under the force of gravity. When gravitational pressure became great enough to heat the gas to about 15 million degrees Celsius, hydrogen atoms began fusing into helium. The sun began to shine, releasing the energy that drives our solar system. Scientists estimate that the sun, believed to be about 4.5 billion years old, is about halfway through its life cycle. wow, that was annoying, but imagine 643 pages of that.... 060328 ... im just saying ....i though it interesting 060328 ... poet i didnt mean the writing, i meant to type it. i mean, imagine typing 600+ pages on stuff like that 060329 ... flowerbed on a cloud His heart beat faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own.
