[edit] To-do list

Just to remember some of the missing bits:

[edit] examples of observations that falsify stellar fusion models

FG Sagittae - variable star brightened four magnitudes while COOLING and shifting from UV to visible light, then dropped SEVEN magnitudes in less than a hundred years, it's moved all the way across "HR diagram", and now it's a binary pair - impossible to explain by common belief systems involving stars radiating heat from nucleosynthesis, exactly what electric models would predict as a star is subjected to violent change in current density; fission of the star and as a result lower current density on the surface of the (now) two bodies

other variable stars defying faith-based stellar fusion beliefs: V 605 Aquilae (similar to above), V 4334 Sagittarii (changed both spectral type and observed composition in years), V838 Monocerotis (changed from an apparently small star hotter than the sun to a cooler "giant" star in a matter of months, defying ANY explanation by stellar fusion models)

If stellar fusion models were valid these types of changes might have an outside chance of taking place in a few thousand years, but typically it would be on the order of a few HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS. How much evidence is required to falsify a hypothesis? Here's a clue: any

This stellar fusion article should be labelled pseudoscience, because observations falsify it, yet it persists as a belief system. Either pseudoscience or religion, either would be okay.

[edit] I was wondering

is there anything that a nineth grade science student could do for a science fair, that is in two days? We had learned that different elements burn into different colors and are there any household items that can be burnt that will not be dangerous to anyone?

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 10:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] elements created during stellar necleosynthesis

In the wikipage for Iron_peak, it states that the elements lighter than Iron are created in stellar nucleosynthesis. Is this what you mean when you say that stellar nucleosynthesis creates the nuclei for heavier elements? Rhetth (talk) 03:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photon creation

I don't know, but I have seen it on History Channel's Universe series; the photon creation (light creating) in stars from the reactions inside the star

Plus the time one photon takes to escape the star's core
