Without fusion, there would be no life on Earth.
What we see as light and feel as warmth is the result of a fusion reaction in the core of our Sun: hydrogen nuclei collide, fuse into heavier helium atoms, and release tremendous amounts of energy in the process.
Over billions of years, the gravitational forces at play in the Universe have caused the hydrogen clouds of the early Universe to gather into massive stellar bodies. In the extreme density and temperature of the stars, including our Sun, fusion occurs.

There are many other scientific principles which, like fusion, are part of our daily lives and which we invite you to experiment!
