I’m surprised it’s not Beret guy at the stove… [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.186|108.162.245.186]] 03:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, here "'''''very''''' high heat" is millions of degrees (any kind), yes? [[User:GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e|GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e]] ([[User talk:GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e|talk]]) 04:13, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Is the title text that stupid American thing where people consider themselves some nationality despite no cultural exposure because one of eight great-grandparents was?

: Taken to the extreme, to the time when galaxies were first starting to condense out of vast hydrogen clouds and form the first generation of stars and black holes. [[User:Nutster|Nutster]] ([[User talk:Nutster|talk]]) 04:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
: I wouldn't say that, no... It's trying to boast long experience. Sounds to me like instead of going back in his life to, say, his childhood, he's taking humankind - LIFE - to back before human beings, back to cells in primordial ooze. Before even the formation of Earth, I think? Judging from mentioning space... [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:17, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::The title text says "collapsing in the darkness of space" which I take as a reference to before 'first light', that is before ANY fusion had occurred. [[User:RIIW - Ponder it|RIIW - Ponder it]] ([[User talk:RIIW - Ponder it|talk]]) 18:56, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

I’m curious who it is who added “exciting new forms of matter” with a citation to randall’s use of the same phrase earlier. This is a common way of talking for the comic demographic, although maybe a little immature as the decades pass. It’s different to see it cited, and I wonder if the editor was from a different culture or young or a bot, or maybe I am just going crazy. My name is karl i have usernames like baffo32 or xloem, i’ve been mentally ill for a decade or so but used to be a nerd. There seem to be fewer nerds here. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.159.131|162.158.159.131]] 12:45, 20 May 2023 (UTC) I’m thinking the citation is for completeness and apologize for my craziness.

Can someone provide the chain of reactions that lead from water to iron? I think the first step from water to helium might sound familiar to people, since that's the "classic" example for nuclear fusion. But how do we get from there to iron?

::It is not water to Iron but Hydrogen to Helium. Of course the oxygen can also be part of the process. But not the water molecule, only its individual atoms. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 07:16, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
:::At the temperatures being hinted at, there's really no such things as molecules as we see them. (It'd be interesting to know if High Temperature Physics has an equivalent 'molecular' system, as it might hint at "life, but not as we know it" just sitting within stars, based upon some sort of plasmoid-magnetic 'structure' that can hold and reproduce some persistence of form that we'd recognise as at least a ''primitive'' form of life. But that's different.)
:::And nucleosynthesis goes all the way up to Iron (under 'normal' conditions) and beyond (when it becomes that little more exciting!), with 78 to 92 of the surrounding elements being easily part of the process. Depending on whether you count neutron-star fun, and other surprisinglg common edge-conditions. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.168|172.71.178.168]] 10:54, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

If Chef Cueball isn't very careful, by reducing his heavy water sauce all the way down to iron he risks his fusion pot undergoing core collapse and exploding in a supernova. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.12|172.70.126.12]] 22:39, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

I would say the Title Text is less of an "American" thing and more of an "online recipe" thing, which usually (for SEO purposes) has a few paragraphs about how the writer relates personally to the recipe before actually providing the instructions.  In a fusion cuisine recipe, a personal connection to one or more of the cultures would be expected. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.174.122|172.68.174.122]] 05:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

The title text sounds very much like the narrator at the start of most short stories in Italo Calvino's "Cosmicomics" - if you haven't read it, stop what you're doing now and find a copy immediately [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.93|108.162.245.93]] 06:28, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

I wonder what fission cuisine would look like?[[Special:Contributions/172.68.138.83|172.68.138.83]] 19:29, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
