STELLAR FUSION

Nature seems to have a novel approach to nuclear fusion. Her stars bring forth energy from within their central cores from where any plasma (all the rage in JET and ITER) would be displaced by an arrangement of protons and any other stuff found inside of atoms, mostly of the hydrogen variety. Severe global traction would have removed any electrons long ago, and if that were not enough, positrons would ferret them out anyhow if they did have any hiding places down there in the middle of the stars up there.

Nature's trick of doing fusion without electrons (an essential ingredient of plasma) precludes electrical parity in the process: positrons decline such suttee for erstwhile electron counterparts. There is no way. Your informant skipped school to slop the hogs and missed out on a lot of bum dope in the process.

Now that is why the universe has a negative charge today, but the plot thickens as we go, for if positrons can quit out and leave energy behind in their place, thus adding cosmic negative charge, then how can we be so sure that energy never converts back to positrons?
