This country sucks, and could learn from Norway

Hmm... from this and several other examples of despair at the actions of a country's ruling body, I conclude that the EU is not especially malevolent, cruel or incompetent, merely that it is as good and bad as any other governing body just that the lack of a singular national identity means that every fault it has is amplified due to it being perceived as foreign in every nation it influences, regardless of actual national origins. In the attempt to be representative of all european nations it is seen as representing none.

Nothing to do with the EU this time (am I really saying this), this isn't a reason to despair this is just an inconvenience. Shale gasses for the win, plenty of it.

Edit, any experts in da house, deutorium, the sea is full of it

Question

Through much of the few minutes after the big bang during which nucleosynthesis could have occurred, the temperature was high enough that the mean energy per particle was greater than the binding energy of weakly bound deuterium; therefore any deuterium that was formed was immediately destroyed. This situation is known as the deuterium bottleneck. The bottleneck delayed formation of any helium-4 until the universe became cool enough to form deuterium (at about a temperature equivalent to 0.1 MeV or 100 keV). At this point, there was a sudden burst of element formation (first deuterium, which immediately fused to helium). However, very shortly thereafter, at twenty minutes after the Big Bang, the universe became too cool for any further nuclear fusion and nucleosynthesis to occur. At this point, the elemental abundances were nearly fixed, with the only change as some of the radioactive products of BBN (such as tritium) decay.[5] The deuterium bottleneck in the formation of helium, together with the lack of stable ways for helium to combine with hydrogen or with itself (there are no stable nuclei with mass numbers of five or eight) meant that insignificant carbon, or any elements heavier than carbon, formed in the Big Bang. These elements thus required formation in stars. At the same time, the failure of much nucleogenesis during the Big Bang ensured that there would be plenty of hydrogen in the later universe available to form long-lived stars, such as our Sun.

How can temperature have any impact on the mergings of atoms it's just -1or +1 or the mass that are neutral atoms

Greyblades was trying to make a different point which was more off-topic, which is why it might have came across as a little confusing as him seeming to bring the EU on this matter.

Every time I see frags I think of the EU, seeing as its all he ever talks about, there's not much to say about the original topic beyond "that sucks" besides.

That's simply not true, i also talk about islam. I am so much more, ask my mom

then again, teh muslims and teh eu are in a conspiracy, so it's all the same thing! protocols of the elders of mecca! eurabia!

By the way, did you know that certain Salafi groups justify their movement by saying that God evidently blessed the Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much oil there?

As long as there is no sense of humor or other ways of introspection I don't really care

Temperature is energy. Or to be more exact, it's how fast the average molecule/atom is moving in the area. For merging (or ripping apart) you'll need to pass a certain energy treshhold (unique for every type of reaction) and get a perfect collision. Now since you'll get a lot of collisions every second it doesn't take that long when a proper temperature is reached.

The average means that some are faster and it's possible that those are the only ones that react. That's a relativly slow reaction.
