Serious question from an autistic dude who is awful at this kind of thing. If you are genuinely attracted to a person and are interested in dating them is it wrong to just state that outright then? Because I see plenty of women where I like their dress, or their hair color etc. but that doesn't mean I'm actually attracted to them. I suppose simply stating "I find you very attractive" might be best as it is just all encompassing?

Sort of. It made more energy than the lasers that actually caused the reaction. It still used vastly more energy than that to actually power those lasers. We are still far off but it was a major stepping point.

Fire just needs and oxidizer, and their are other elements that can take it's place if their is no oxygen. (I believe bromine and iodine but I'm not sure about that.)

The sun actually isn't made of "fire." It's made primarily if hydrogen and some helium. It "burns" because the immense gravity of all of that matters crushes the hydrogen atoms together, fusing them into more helium. This fusion releases a LOT of energy. For reference of how much hydrogen the sun burns, it burns around 600 MILLION tons of it each second. That's 600 million tons of the lightest element there is.
