Suppose, in a large hot star, when 4 hydrogen atoms combine into one helium atom then the energy produced always causes 4 more hydrogen atoms to combine into a helium atom. If this star reaches a temperature to cause the first 4 hydrogen atoms to combine into a helium atom, what happens after that?
