Why is it so hard to create atoms from other atoms? - eviltoast

So helium is a limited resource. Okay gotcha. So why not take two hydrogen atoms. Take their protons and neutrons. And just fucking start squeezing them together until you get helium?

And I don’t mean in the same way you get H2. Those are still separate from each other.

    If you are really patient, I think the sun will inevitably give us a whole bunch of helium.

      But not too patient, or else it’ll make that helium into something else.
