What I am proposing is that the force of repulsion below the pico scale decreases with decreasing velocity. However, if fusion does occur at very low velocities then the associated binding energy required to keep nuclei together will be smaller resulting in a delicate nucleus. Given the history of the universe most of the nuclear matter we encounter around us was forged in stars so most of it will have very high binding energies. Also delicate nuclei with very low binding energies would not be durable enough to give rise the geological, mineralogical and biological diversity we see today.
