OK, one last time - How much mass before star-fusion happens

******* Astrophysicists tell us that the mass be 8 percent of the Sun
for fusion to commence(read that) Best to keep in mind once fusion is
reached the star does not shrink any more It is entirely a gas ball. Its
core furnace is made of its own fuel. All this energy is gamma photons.
It takes 100,000 years for these photons to reach the stars surface to
go into space.,and their wave lengths have now been changed so we see
them as white light(mixture of wave lengths) Humankind can create
fusion by heat and pressure,but it lasts only a second(runs out of fuel)
Stars do it and the nice part is they can keep it up for billions of
years. Our Sun can remain gaseous throughout its life time of fusion.
Bert. PS pulse fusion of my invention will give humankind all the
energy it will ever need. Gates are you reading this??
