In reply to Axil Axil's message of Wed, 30 Aug 2017 14:15:30 -0400: Hi, Actually a half life of 14 billion years sounds like it's about the right order of magnitude for the power output of the Sun, given the number of particles that are present. (Note that most of the energy comes from the follow on reactions which are near "instantaneous" by comparison.)
