Yet, some of our colleagues would have us believe that stars are just cosmic accidents, fortuitous random results of the expansion of the universe.
Kind of tough to invent self-sustaining multibillion year virtually infinite energy sources ain’t it?
Creator.
Well, stars have an advantage we don’t have on earth: an immense gravitational field to hold things together while fusion occurs. It’s an open question whether there’s a way to get to “break-even” (more energy out than in) without using gravity to compress things. There aren’t any powerplant-sized stars in the universe to show us how it’s done.
