Is it possible to change the helium of the sun to hydrogen

AI Thread Summary
Changing helium into hydrogen on the sun is not feasible, as it requires an energy input that exceeds the energy produced during the natural fusion process of hydrogen into helium. The mass of four protons is greater than that of a helium nucleus, which is a fundamental principle of nuclear physics. Additionally, using a laser to stop electromagnetic waves is impractical; the energy output of any Earth-bound laser would be minuscule compared to the immense energy produced by the sun, rendering the concept ineffective.

sir,
I have to questions,
1. is it possible to change the helium of the sun to hydrogen.
2. can laser stop the electromagnetic wave if laser is charged to the electromagnetic wave face to face.

Helium to Hydrogen requires energy input, for just the same reason that Hydrogen to Helium produces energy. The mass of four protons is greater than the mass of a Helium nucleus (alpha particle).

Is I have said before, the energy any Earth bound laser could produce would be weensy compared to what the sun could produce. I don't think this idea has a chance.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
