Fusion is now called "Taurus" for those who don't know. :lol: :rolleyes: . sorry had to.

Anyway fusion joins particles together and there is some left over mass/energy. In fission they are sperated apart and there is a bit of left over mass/energy. In either case mass and energy are interchangable, mass =energy (E=Mc^2). Fusion is more easily controlled and considered "safer".

And so that everyone sleeps well, be aware that McMaster has a reactor on campus as does UofT (downtown). If that doesnt keep you awake at night, know that they let people like me do experiments with it in the past.

Sweet dreams <3 :lol: :rolleyes:
