If CF is real, why doesn't it occur in white dwarves with their high
temperature and pressure electron degenerate matter? After all, that is the
belief system of CF in cramming these lattices with hydrogen.

"The material in a white dwarf no longer undergoes fusion reactions, so the
star has no source of energy, nor is it supported by the heat generated by
fusion against gravitational collapse."

"Under high densities the matter becomes a degenerate gas when the
electrons are all stripped from their parent atoms. In the core of a star,
once hydrogen burning in nuclear
fusion<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion> reactions
stops, it becomes a collection of positively charged
ions<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion>,
largely helium and carbon nuclei, floating in a sea of electrons, which
have been stripped from the nuclei. Degenerate gas is an almost perfect
conductor of heat and does not obey the ordinary gas laws. White
dwarfs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarfs> are
luminous not because they are generating any energy but rather because they
have trapped a large amount of heat."
