Is Katamari Damacy scientifically sound?

Name: Anonymous 2005-03-09 18:27

The science behind Katamari Damacy seems plausible enough.  Take a ball of matter and compress it upon itself with unlimited pressure to create a helium-hydrogen reaction, forming a star. 

The question is, what size does the ball of matter need to actually be?  Would 10 cm be enough to create such a reaction?  Or is mass the real factor?  Perhaps just a few atoms suffice. 

Also, could the concept of "failes stars" being turned into stardust work?  That is, the star-like reaction would fail to form a perfect sphere, and release its emissions into space in no particular shape or form.

Comments?

As big as a star, that's how big.  Really REALLY big.

Also note that as you fuse elements heavier than hydrogen, you get less and less energy output up to element 23, iron.  Past that point, there is a net energy loss rather than net energy output, because the energy is converted into binding energy for the bigger and bigger nucleus.

supermassivity is taken as a given, manually creating such a circumstance from scratch has never been considered since its entirely a waste of time in any realistic sense

But where would you find mushrooms big enough?
