The white whale of energy, scientists have been hyping the potential of nuclear fusion since, oh, the first hydrogen bomb was dropped over the Marshall Islands in 1952.

能源的大白鲸，自从，噢，第一颗氢弹在1952年被投掷在马绍尔群岛以来，科学家们一直都在大肆宣传核聚变的潜力。

However, fusion reactions on the sun are uncontrollable, just like H-bomb explosion seen on the earth. Huge amount of energy will be produced in a minute, which may be destructive.

但是，就象我们在地球上所看到的氢弹爆炸一样，太阳上的聚变反应是不受控制的，它在一分钟内会产生出巨大的却也可能是毁灭性的能量。

Acting alone, gravity would cause stars to collapse completely, but as long as energy is produced at their centers by nuclear fusion (the joining of atomic nuclei to form new elements, as in a hydrogen bomb), the star is heated and puffed up.
