The real question is why the universe looks even a little bit local. Einstein did not go around repeating, god does not play dice. There's almost nothing directly answering your question that i have to say about nuclear fusion. The one non-trivial thing we can do with all of this information is find out whether or not we can make it practical and get more energy than we put in.
Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
