The chance that hydrogen will quantum tunnel is 1 in 10^28 that like winning powerball 3 times in a row. Since the sun has more than 10^57 hydrogen atoms, quantum tunneling is very probably. On earth when we do fusion, we are talking in the order of 10^23 atoms

Very well made video! I feel like I'm finally starting to understand the Strong Force & Strong Nuclear Force. The fact that the mediating particles have a limited lifespan being the reason that the Force is so short range, is something that I hadn't realised before, but now it makes a lot of sense! I guess that's also why eventually (after Iron), the binding energy drops again, because the size of the nucleus becomes larger than the interaction length of the Strong Nuclear Force.

This is most detailed explanation I've ever seen, regarding a concept of quantum mechanics/nuclear physics. I have never seen a video that is not afraid to explain the actual physics, instead of explaining everything with handwavy analogies. Sure, I am confident that this is still really dumbed down version of the actual explanation, but it doesn't leave anything to be desired. It offers just enough information to satisfy all of the curiosity, without scaring you away with scary concepts rooted in really complicated mathematics. Wonderful job! Wonderful animations!

I consider myself a veteran of the KZfaq science and physics content audience. I'm not an expert in any of this, I did complete a BSc fifteen years ago, and I didn't study physics but I've always maintained my fascination with it all. Your channel is just the perfect level of explanation for me, and you do such a great job of painting a picture of what is going on. Do you have a patreon or a donation link? Seriously, I'd swing you a few dollars a month for your content. I've watched nearly every one of your videos and your series on stellar core collapse I've watched 5 or 6 times.

That was magnificently well illustrated. For a visual person like me, I can see the equations in the animations even if abstractly, I don't really understand them on a purely mathematical basis. Using 3 dimensions in them is very helpful to breed an intuitive insight however, reality on this level is 4 dimensional so even though we're only considering ~2% of c, there is still a small effect of time and length(distance) relativistic effects. How to illustrate that specifically, I think you did without explicitly saying it but through implication that the probabilities are so unreasonably small yet with so many particles and such density, those effects emerge and have an on our human scale a significant impact. Like you know, existing at all.

One view is that a shell with radius 3 would have surface area of interaction equality to the volume of a sphere with radius 3, as also cones and hemisphere and the circle in this energy transfer sequence. However, when two spheres unite, the surface area of the second sphere is less; the excess is released at 'c' from each atom.

If it ever became possible it would be near infinite energy with basically no waste (not like fission). Unfortunately I don’t think humans will ever stop fighting each other 😢
