ahhh....sighs. i've been re-reading from the beginning.<br />so many different parts of the discussion could go on into a thousand posts to get to the necessary 'proof' needed.<br /><br />binding forces, fission, fusion, question of missing energy, dark matter, portals to smurfland (sorry had to shake it all off with that last one there).<br /><br />this whole fission/fusion part threw me, looking back again. energy is apparent in the form of photons, gamma radiation, the supposed creation of particles upon release of the binding force, and the subatomic particles releasing, etc, etc. and fusion...yeah, mass is formed. fusion is the basic, or rudimentary foundation by which the new particle now has an energy curve, lambda, by which it can now attract to form heavier elements, of course this process, in the deep of stars, requires pressure and gravity to maintain stability and velocity, but it is feeding off that energy, (equivocally exchanging energy for more mass), heavier elements, higher energy, etc, etc.<br />i've just hacked the crap out of that little explanation so i guess i should supply those basic charts.<br /><br />of course this exchange, due to a variety of variables, when we look at it on the QM level contradicts itself. Science doesn't understand the inner most working of stars and QM, as yet can't explain it. These elements, under such extreme pressure produce their own Electrostatic fields that act as a repeller to the massive graviational forces trying to crush them. This is all fine fine for ordinary stars, pretty understood, then we move to neutron stars, and that QED isn't able, in the models, to withstand that gravitational pressure, and should by all intents collapse under its own weight. <br /><br />sigh, i guess through this mumbo jumbo...where does APM solve the problem? remember, a unified theory would solve it, because we could understand how the four forces work together. i mean, if you can give that answer, you will sell me on this mode <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
