>"Fusion is typically a high temperature, high pressure phenomenon. It requires a star, or, if you’re hellbent on making it happen on Earth, massive magnets and a lot of power." Not true! Well, "true" according to the popular current day understanding of what fusion is... let me elaborate, elucidate, and explain... Fusion is a fundamental process in nature, which is relative to scale. As is fission. Which is also relative to scale. There are two great patterns expressed by the Universe at different scales, and these can basically be thought of in such simple terms as "cut" and "join". You know, what we have scissors and duct tape for... You go one way, you cut larger things into many smaller things; you go the other way, and you join many smaller things into larger things... Cutting is Fission, joining is Fusion. Now both of these patterns exist at all scales -- at all energy levels. They exist in ALL chemical reactions. In fact, I'll make a wager that future scientists will be able to prove that endothermic (absorbs heat) and exothermic (generates heat) chemical reactions -- are either Fission or Fusion. If I were to make a bet, I'd say that Fusion is the exothermic one, simply because Fusion reactions as are known popularly today (again, not relative to scale) -- are the hotter reaction of the two. So then the question is, how can an endothermic (absorbs heat) chemical reaction be fission -- if fission generates heat? Well, I don't know the answer to that (yet!). Perhaps all exothermic (heat generating) chemical reactions consist of fusion OR fission components, OR both... Perhaps there are two other complimentary opposites to fusion and fission that remove energy... But, here's a good time to talk about Implosion. Most people who have watched Hollywood movies -- know what explosions are... But, not too many people outside of the Physics community, or people who understand Brown's Gas or the works of Viktor Schauberger -- really understand implosions... See, in Physics, there is always a two-way exchange of energy, that is, if something is expanding, then something else is contracting -- even though we might not see what that thing is -- even though we might need special equipment to detect it... In an explosion, we see fire and hot gases expanding outward to fill space... But, there must be something else -- equal-and-oppositely that's contracting inward, even though Physics has yet to observe what it is... We can think about Implosions (although in a different context) -- as Black Holes. We can also think about them as vortices... Basically they remove something from something else, they act to "compress" matter, objects, information, etc. So, getting back to fusion and fission, join and cut, implosion and explosion, these phenomena exist on all scales, at all temperature ranges. A future scientist will show that all of these things are parts of the same dualistic pattern, which repeats in nature at all scales, at all temperatures...
