The Fusion And Splitting Of Atoms?

Lets say if you fused 2 hydrogen atoms and they become a helium atom. What if you could split the helium atom into 2 lighter hydrogen atoms than when fused (suggesting the energy released during nuclear fission). What if you kept fusing and defusing this hydrogen/helium atom(s)? Would the mass finaly become 100% energy?


I can't realy explain.The Fusion And Splitting Of Atoms?
Fission of helium doesn't release energy; it absorbs it. So the energy you get out of fusing hydrogens together must be put back in if you want to split them again.The Fusion And Splitting Of Atoms?
Fission released energy and fusion absorbed energy.


When taking it's value, it was same (by ignoring the negative sign) because it was only to and fro reaction.
One of the really cool things about a quantum-mechanical process is that it works just as well in reverse.


The problem with your scenario is this: the energy released during the fusion phase must be put back into the time-reversed version. Or at least an equal amount of energy.


Without it the helium won't split.
