Cool. Too bad I couldn't beat them at nationals last year :lol: :lol: Actaully I believe the top five was separated by 10 points, so it was fairly close lol

Well just think fusion should give you bigger stuff like in the picture I posted in the pic I labeled you were getting neutrons photons and electrons from atoms, without other byproducts.
It was the proton-proton chain reaction.

Yeah but I don't think you would have to know stuff like that for Reach. Just what nuclear fusion is

Looks complicated. Can you get a picture that's simpler? Thanks.

Ok try this one

^you essentially start with protium ( a single proton, the most commone isotope of hydrogen) fusion of two of those results in deuterium (a neutron and a proton, another isotope of hydrogen.) Fusion of protium and deuterium results in helium-3 and when you fuse two of those 2 protons are given off and you end up with helium-4. It goes on farther and is a little more complicated then that but that's the gist
