Question

The energy that is released in the hydrogen fusion reaction comes from OE = mc² The fact that a single neutron has slightly more mass than a single proton. The tremendous heat in the center of the Sun. The difference in mass between the four hydrogen nuclei and the single resulting helium nucleus.
