Are you alchemist? Is it true you can cut an atom with knife like potato
Comment on idk french but this escalated quickly

Doesn’t splitting helium into hydrogen absorb energy?
Fusion bombs fuse hydrogen into helium.

Yes. Finding a knife-like potato is difficult, though.

Split atom and you get energy
Not that atom - look you’re doing it wrong
Yeah, you are right. You don’t energy for fusing elements heavier than iron and you definitely don’t get energy from fission of helium-4.

There should still be lots of energy stored holding it together. It’s just incredibly hard to split.

There is no* energy stored holding it together, just as there is no energy released when splitting a brick from the ground or splitting two magnets.
*The energy stored in the electrical repulsion of the protons is much much less than the energy required to break the strong force bonds amongst the protons and neutrons, so energy is consumed rather than released in a split.

But it takes more energy to split than you get out of it.

France just happened to get nuked by the English at that very moment. It was unrelated to the helium situation

Its actually the Germans dressed as the English, retribution for France planning on nuking them if the cold war got hot. Also it wa as all of Germany not just the Eastern half.
