Cosmologists modeling the origin of the elements postulate nuclides with very short half-lives. One of these nuclides,Be8(t1/2=7×10-17s), plays a key role in stellar nucleosynthesis (p. 1099) because it must fuse withHe4to form12Cbefore decaying. Another explanation involves the simultaneous fusion of threeHe4nuclei to form 12C. Comment on the validity of this alternative mechanism.
