"This is why the HE4 atom has the highest ionization potential(13.6ev)and is the most stable of all elements.

THe 1st IP of He is ~24.5eV. The 2nd is ~54. 13.6 refers to H. He is stable, because it has a full shell. The effect of nuclear mass and spin is on the order of ~0.02%.

3He3 is a Fermion. 4He is a boson. Boson condensates are super fluid.

"t=dKE?"

This indicates c=Hbar=1 and deltat=deltaEkinetic

Is there a way to build a boson still?

Yes, I got the ionization of H and He mixed up(grabbing from memory)thanks for the correction. Excellent article in Scientific American some 30 years ago on super fluid Helium 3, you might want to read it. Although He3 is as chemically stable as He4 the nuclear magnetic moment means it can flow, as pairs, something like cooper pair electrons. You also got t=dKE right : time is the rate of kinetic energy release. Next step : t=dKE=m, either inertial or gravitational mass; do you know where this is leading?
