    Once you use up all the heavy elements by fission you just put the newly created light elements into fusion reactors and get the originals back

          Ok, good. My humour detector must need a recharge.

          To get the originals mater back would be a violation, but you’d get something out. Just less and less each time round. That’s what I thought you were suggesting. Even that is fantasy for now.

            I don’t believe in the /s.

            Aside from conservation of energy being violated, I don’t think there’s enough hydrogen produced from fission to do it either. I’m no physicist but I don’t think fusion of iodine, cesium, strontium, krypton etc is viable, I think it’s gotta be the really low weight stuff like hydrogen and helium.
