     European clocks have 10 hour days with 100 minute hours that are 100 seconds. It's why their time is so fucked up that it's night time over there when it's supposed to be day.

     @Kyou I guess if units aren't the same as the number of fingers, Euros can't count them. "Help, I don't know how to divide by 12 without a calculator!"

     but .. it doesn't really explain it. Like it doesn't work the other direction.
     
     The reason fusion and fission both "work" is because of the fuel. Iron (Fe) is the breaking point. If you can get things lighter than Iron to fuse, you get energy. If you can get things heavier than Iron to break apart, you get energy.
     
     Flip it around and both operations take energy. Hydrogen+2/+3 and Uranium-235 are the easiest fuels for us to use for both of those operations.
