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 '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
