>>13065198Oh, I see what you're saying... most BECs are only stable near absolute zero, although there are exceptions. The BECs are usually made from organic compounds, I suspect methyl groups attached to other organic groups. However, we're only talking about small bits of molecules, not the quantities needed to produce significant heat.
I think science has failed to get at the 'why' behind fusion producing such an abundance of energy compared to fission, which by all rights should actually produce more if the theory is that liberating protons/neutrons is the source of the energy.
Think of it this way: When you hold two fridge magnets near eachother so they attract, but don't allow them to touch, when you finally let go of them and allow them to touch, they impact with a significant amount of force. That force, when we're talking about nuclear fusion, is absolutely massive, and tends to release gluons which only further help to facilitate more fusion events in a chain reaction. High heat is one way to trigger fusion, and it may be one element (certainly heat would be generated even if the reaction starts out cold) but this is the sort of thing where you need multiple elements that support the fusion, not just one or the other.
I propose that combining gluons with the other techniques already tried will tip the scale in favor of a sustained fusion reaction.
