Cluster fusion could happen if the whole cluster tunnels at the same time. This is linked to the very nature of the tunneling mechanism, and I don't think I'm alone in being unsure of exactly what that is. ;) > >My point, quantum mechanics allows cluster fusion to occur regardless of >the speed of light.
