If you leave a few atoms of hydrogen alone, in that amount of time, won’t it just still be hydrogen? Same for anything below iron on the periodic table, right? There’s not going to be spontaneous fusion occurring.
Interesting. That article says it only applies significantly in ultra dense systems such as a neutron star. I’m still not particularly convinced that if I left a burger alone for however long, it would all be iron-56.
