Hello! What happened to density? Don't try to pass the fragmented BS off on me.

Everywhere you look, it's 75% hydrogen, 25% helium (and what little those are off, is made up with a smattering of everything else). In stars, nebulae, galaxies, everywhere you see matter. So...not ignorant at all.<br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>Since when is something not worth noting when multiplied by 1-million now worth noting?<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote> No, it's not. But is it enough? That's my question. You haven't supplied it, I don't know it off hand. So I was a bit cavalier with the statement.<br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>Our sun was made by cold fusion, and its dissipation and decay is a byproduct of primarily fission. Fusion is there; it has to be, but it is secondary<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote> Well, a few fun facts. A) you've earlier stated helium fission is the source. B) there is no viable mechanism for cold fusion. C) normal fusion is demonstrated to be possible, and under conditions present at a stellar core.<br /><br />Helium at the core of our star? Sure, Density: Over 25%, but less than 30%...I could do the calculations based on the standard model, but you'd claim that invalid from the get-go (and I'd have to use time I don't have right now).<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p><--- The helium is trapped; it cannot escape, and the fission sublimates is constant. I know how to make a nasty something that makes energy. 0.25 compressed solar masses of helium; there is far more helium than you think.

I believe it is you who are full of "fragmented bs".<br /><br />mass=volume*density<br /><br />In other words density is directly related to mass. Again, pretty straight forward. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Sorry I snapped at you. (volume)(density) = {mass} is fragmented again. It doesn't work that way, or at least for a star it does not.

actually...yes, it does. Density is, <i>by definition</i> mass divided by volume. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.  Goes "bing" when there's stuff.  It also fries eggs at 30 paces, wether you want it to or not actually.  I've learned to stay away from hens: It's not pretty when they blow" -- </font></em></font><font size="1" color="#999999">The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

What happened to composition and pressure/gravity? There is more helium in one teaspoon of star core than... well, it is compresses into a smaller mass because of velocity or speed, or at least that is what it looks like from my vantage point. However, if I compressed with it or teleported to the core, then that teaspoon would seem more massive. What happened to the velocity affects: mass, length, and time?<br /><br />I don’t even know where to begin:<br /><br />[1]. Cloud<br />[2]. Cold<br />[3]. Electron<br />[4]. Static<br />[5]. Clumping<br />[6]. Increased mass begins to fuse hydrogen into helium both internally and externally.<br />[7]. A metallic hydrogen mantel is created that traps helium, thus, preventing fission to hydrogen, and it is this core that is the primary source of energy pound for pound.<br /><br />The fission sublimate is energy: pure and unadulterated pure energy, whereas chromo-dynamics is an indicator of its output. Charged particles striking the medium at speeds that greater than the speed of light in the medium; both internally and externally. The medium of the core is helium, and this helium is prevented from becoming a solid.

(<sup>4</sup>He) <---- What is its mass relative to us (just one (QM))?

OOOH! OOOH! I know this one.<br /><br />Um... The mass of He4 is very nearly 4. What a shocker. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

What is the mass of one hydrogen relative to us (QM), what does relative to us mean, and what would happen, if I moved that mass away from our relativity?

The mass of 1 Hydrogen is the sum of the mass of 1 proton and 1 electron.<br /><br />The rest of your question was garbled in transmission. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

There are two valid answers. 1) A Proton. 2) a Hydrogen +1 ion. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

Color does not apply. There are no electrons to excite and then release a photon. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

(hydrogen + ion) + (hydrogen + ion) + (hydrogen + ion) + (hydrogen + ion) = (<sup>4</sup>He + <sup>4</sup>ion) . What color is it?

Unless you're discussing Rayleigh scattering, that's immaterial and irrelevant. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

No. It doesn't emit in any visible wavelength. And it's such a small molecule, it barely qualifies as an aerosol (Mie Scattering). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

You don't, really, except by bonding into higher order molecules or hydrogen bonding (H20, for example). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
