| Jan 1, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | ProfRob | @DonBranson I was not criticising the chemistry analogy - all astrophysicists talk in terms of "nuclear burning", which does indeed "ignite" in a reasonably sudden way. The problem is more in the concept that the star suddenly becomes brighter as a result, whereas as I explain, the truth is actually the opposite; the "ignition" actually just stops the star from becoming fainter! | |
