It is almost that simple. > You appear to be neglecting H-H fusion by electron capture. This also happens in the Sun, but at a low rate. Nevertheless, the ratio might change significantly if either shrunken electrons are available, or if the electron is already present as in Horace's theory. Note e.c. fusion produces no positrons (because proton + electron -> light neutron). Regards,
