Nuclear Fusion Is Not How Existing Power Plants Make Energy

Fusion is when you take two atoms together to make not a molecule, but one atom. The reason for this is enshrined in the most famous piece of mass in the world: e equals m c squared. When albert einstein published this equation in 19 o five, he explained with one stroke how energy can be released in stars and nuclear explosions. Fatima ibrahimi is from the princeton plasma physics laboratory at Princeton University. She says fusion avoids runaway reactions by using fuel that isn't radioactive. As we will discover, much of the fuel used for fusion is everywhere. Time for our second expert witness, part two - Arthur eddington who claimed star power was coming from
