10.3
Star properties
  As we said earlier, the principle reaction that occurs within stars to produce light particles and other particles is strong-nuclear fusion. Strong nuclear fusion (as defined and discussed in previous chapters) is a reaction whereby sub-atomic particles configure and/or re-configure new atomic structures and as a result, certain atomic and sub-atomic particles are repulsed into nearby space.
10.3.1 Revisit of the relative temperatures required for strong-nuclear fusion
  As we also discussed earlier, the relative levels of kinesis to cause firstly atomic structures to become unstable and secondly for atomic structures to reconfigure into more complex and/or less complex shapes are huge.
  Strong Nuclear Fusion Reaction Temperature Required
  Proton-Proton 20 million degrees K
Photons (3 Quarks) 18.2 million degrees K
Hetons (3 Down Quarks) 7.3 million degrees K
Protoactives 7 million degrees K
  Protons 5 million degrees K
Magnetons 5 million degrees K
  Positrons 3.5 million degrees K
  Neutrons 2.1 million degrees K
  Neutroactives 1.3 million degrees K
Electrons 678,000 degrees K
10.3.2 The actual process of chain reaction- ergon levels and therefore strength
  As we now understand, the relative conditions for strong nuclear fusion occur only under certain conditions to produce such het. These conditions are limited to: o the creation boundary of the Universe (creation of Quarks and Neutrinos), o collapsing nebulae (the birth of stars), o inside stars themselves, o the collapse of stars (black holes, supernova).
  As we have discussed previously, a fusion reaction is when groups of like spin and strength particles are in sufficient quantities and close proximity that they form close orbits. This process means that the relative velocity of these particles drops to O and at that moment, their kinesis rates are at maximum. This creates a wave of intense kinesis rise and therefore a chain reaction of like particles forming new bonds. If the kinesis levels are high enough and in sync, the like particles can form more geometrically complex and perfect shape.
  These newly "fused" like particle groups and their huge release of kinesis act as a magnet for other particles to come in. The resultant rush, pushes the newly formed and heavier particles outwards, thereby creation a chain reaction of kinesis, release and motion of particles inwards and outwards.
  Photon-Photon core fusion requires the second greatest level of kinesis (temperature). Proton-Proton (hydrogen to helium) is the highest, while electrons and neutrons are often enough to kick off a chain reaction to start-up a star.
  When we look at a Star emitting light particles, we are seeing a series of simultaneous chain reactions of the fusion of different particles ranging from electrons through to photons- the electromagnetic spectrum. Hydrogen to Helium fusion is merely one of many different particle chain fusion reactions occurring in our Sun at the same time.
10.3.3 How do stars get the first chain reaction to occur?
  Stars are huge compared to the size of planets. Stars, being many hundreds of thousands of kilometres in diameter compared to a few thousand kilometres for planets.
  Because of the general forces of attraction, the further inward we travel into a star, the higher the density. This increasing inward pressure causes increased levels of kinesis to a point that a kinesis level is reached between similar particle shapes and a chain reaction occurs.
  This sets up a reaction whereby the forces inwards are dramatically increased with a tangible increased attraction of the core to like particles, while at the same time creating an equally strong pressure outwards. It is therefore the number of particles, their size, kinesis rates and the relative pressures that start the sequence of chain reactions to occur.
  An excellent example of a star trying to start a chain reactions is Jupiter. Jupiter for its size (144,000km across) rotates at phenomenal speed (around 1 rotation in around 10 hours). This speed increases the pressures within the atmosphere of Jupiter tremendously.
  Sadly for Jupiter though, its size and rotation rate is only sufficient to cause fusion reactions to the magneton stage at its core. Interestingly, during its life cycle, it is possible to see Jupiter lighten in colour. This would indicate limited success in producing certain fusion reactions, but not of sufficient quantity to set of a chain reaction and convection particle field around Jupiter of Photons.
  However, it does indicate that at some point, Jupiter via its continued growth (attraction as a magnet of small particles throughout the solar system), will reach a critical point where photon-photon and proton-proton chain reactions can be established with limited success. This is likely towards the end of life of our Sun.
  That Jupiter lightens and darkens significantly during the course of its orbit of the Sun indicates that Jupiter is much closer to being a photon producing star than contemporary science thinks.
  That in ten million, possibly one hundred million years that Jupiter might fulfil its destiny and become our second Sun is an important understanding of the path of evolution yet to unfold in our very own immediate neighborhood.
10.3.4 The return of particles to the Sun and their curved path
  As we have mentioned earlier, it is only in the past fifty years that contemporary science conceded that light does not travel in straight lines.
  Yet we have a further way to go in understanding just how particles from a Sun travel to a planet and then what happens next?. The first question to tackle is: do particles that emanate from the Sun ever return?
  Particle fields
  We have already discussed that ergon particles behave in fields. We now know that the Sun has huge magnetic particle fields, gravity fields, electrical fields.
  But what about photon fields? What we mean is that, there is nothing to suggest to the contrary that the majority of light particles circulate back to the Sun once hitting a planet. This is in spite of a high degree of entropy of photon particles into deep space. Particle fields also explain why the levels of light further out from the Sun diminish. Because Photons are on a path to return to the Sun.
  That photons, electrons, magnetons behave in particle fields through, out and back to the Sun explains why the Sun remains relatively stable in size and output for so long. That is because it is a self regulating system. It is much more advanced set of process than simply something blowing up.
  For instance, we know stars do not grow at an exponential rate from birth. We know this because our Sun has been the same approximate size for several billion years. If particle fields did not exist and we simply saw the random explosion of particles from the Sun without any regulation- one of two things would happen:
 

Suns would expand very quickly into chain reactions that spread larger and larger;

 

or Suns would burn out very quickly (millions of years).

10.3.5 Answering an anomaly of science- does a star just burn on its original fuel base?
  Just as so many hundreds of other models of science, the Sun has been considered a "closed system" for much of this century- that is the Sun burns by virtue of its own original fuel reserves (hydrogen).
  This model seems to make perfect sense, until closer analysis of the "rate" of fuel consumption by our Sun points to an anomaly as to the precise proportion of helium present.
  If we project back in time to the original birth and beginnings of the strong-nuclear fusion reactions at the core of our Sun, then the levels of helium should by rights be in greater proportions- in other words, the fuel tanks should be emptier than they are.
  The search for neutrinos and "thick" space have given us clues
  It has only been through the greater understanding of the formation of stars from nebulae and the general "attraction" of large structures to smaller sub-atomic and atomic structures, that we have come to understand that the Sun is actually attracting sub-atomic particles from nearby space (up to 1.5 light years away) while at the same time, releasing particles such as photons (light particles).
  The difference is that the amount of sub-atomic and atomic particles attracted to the Sun's atmosphere is less than the rate of nuclear fusion. If it was the same, the fuel tanks of hydrogen would never run dry.
  This way, we see a counter balance between the gradual acceleration of nuclear fusion at the core of stars as their density increases and the attraction of new particles from nearby space. When we look at the evolution and gradual death of stars, we must also consider the amount of matter attracted to the star, that in turn slows the date of death.
  One more controversy- the loss of hydrogen
  One loop that hasn't fully been resolved by science is that nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium does not match up with replenishment rates. In other words, Stars lose hydrogen not only by fusion but by the attachment of hydrogen to other particles such as Photons.
  What this means is that the Sun loses Hydrogen on two fronts- nuclear conversion as well as being part of particle packages such as light.
  However, on the return journey, light particles "pick-up" stray hydrogen particles back to the Sun as new fuel. This additional hydrogen loss explains the exponential changes in Suns when hydrogen levels versus size reach critical points.
  The same process for helium will occur once the size and temperature of the core of the Sun reaches sufficient temperatures to start a photon-photon core reaction, producing stronger light particles capable of carrying helium.
