I see that ecat.com is claiming that fusing nickel with hydrogen is exothermic.

If that were true, this fusion would occur in stars. Stars would have higher and higher concentrations of heavier elements (above iron) as they aged.

The oldest stars should be made out of uranium.

Maybe Rossi doesn't understand why stars go nova?
