Propagation of information/energy at different frequencies

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the propagation of information and energy at different frequencies, specifically in the context of stellar evolution. It highlights the process where two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom, releasing energy in the form of photons. The conversation also touches on the eventual fate of stars, including their absorption by black holes. A recommended resource for further understanding is the Wikipedia article on stellar evolution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stellar fusion processes
  • Basic knowledge of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with energy-matter equivalence
  • Awareness of astrophysical phenomena
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Wikipedia article on stellar evolution
  • Research the process of hydrogen fusion in stars
  • Explore the concept of black hole formation
  • Learn about energy release in nuclear reactions
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, astrophysicists, and students studying stellar phenomena will benefit from this discussion.

The Sun, mass decreases as energy increases, i.e. 2 x hydrogen = 1 x helium ( less a little bit = a photon ) until it is ultimately swalled up by a black whole, a magnet with strong force, a ball of iron?

am I on the right lines ?
