A diprotium molecule might undergo tunnelling to fuse by two reactions:
Naturally big, but also naturally finite. And might be computed.
An estimate from Nature, in 1989:

The estimate seems to be in the region of 1056 years.
He says that his estimate was 10 orders of magnitude shorter than preceding ones.
While it is a theoretical field, he quotes several preceding works from 1980s.
28 years have passed since. What might be current best estimates for the half-life of diprotium molecule?
