It's still sitting in the core of a star, and subject to all the intense heat and pressure therein. Heavier elements ARE formed in the cores of active stars, it's just at a negative cost, and is actually one of the contributing factors that leads to a nova or supernova, if I am not mistaken, and are not formed solely in the fires of a supernova.<BR/><BR/>There would be a certain amount of irony and amusement value in pointing that out to him, I think...Ilithi Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300247936272572280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-9828417169609238702008-08-04T23:28:00.000-05:002008-08-04T23:28:00.000-05:00Wow...
