Consider an example of typically constructive and destructive events thought to occur in highly evolved stars. Heat is so intense that some of the 28silicon nuclei break apart into 7 4helium nuclei. Another nearby 28silicon nucleus, not yet itself photodisintegrated, then suddenly captures one or several of these 4helium nuclei. This type of process leads to even heavier nuclei including 32sulfur, 36chlorine, 40argon, 40calcium, 48titanium, and 52chromium—again, at intervals of 4. In the rare case where all 7 helium nuclei from a photodisintegrated silicon nucleus are suddenly captured by a nearby undestroyed 28silicon nucleus, a much more massive nucleus of 56nickel is instantaneously created:
28silicon + 4helium + 4helium + 4helium + 4helium + 4helium + 4helium + 4helium --> 56nickel + energy.
This two step process—photodisintegration followed by direct capture of disintegrated 4helium nuclei—is called the alpha process , a name again derived from the shorthand name for 4helium nuclei.
A further complication enters the picture here. The most stable nickel nucleus is 60nickel, not 56nickel as produced in this reaction. The 56nickel isotope then quickly decays first into a 56cobalt isotope and then into a normal 56iron nucleus. As a rule of thumb in Nature, any unstable nucleus will continue to decay until stability is achieved. We know this much from experiments in nuclear physics laboratories. And no known nuclei are more stable than 56iron.
[Luke 21:22 CSB] "because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all the things that are written.
Through personal experience,
I have found that
Cats respond strongly to the
Glory Be:
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be
World without End, Amen.
