Comment on My chemistry professor after explaining that helium is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and inert [Day 67]

Physics professor: That’s not true! You can make nuclear fusion with helium-3 which doesn’t make the reactor core radioactive over time. And I think that’s cool!

That is a bit of cheating, speaking as a phycisist. We say “if we add enough energy to system X thing Y will happen” about almost everything. :-)

  True and, speaking of nuclear fusion, it’s a big if. Given the amount of “enough energy” needed.
