Re: Questions about Mass Defect & Nuclear binding energies

Ah... I think I got it now. So the energy is released at one
time only and doesn't just stay there.


You are talking about different types of energy here. The energy
of the photons leaves. The binding energy indeed stays there.


I thought it stays in the
nucleus at all times. So when hydrogen fuses to helium,
the energy is released as in H-bomb.. I thought it is the
source of the energy of the strong force. 

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. If you meant that
the source of fusion energy is the strong force, then you are right.



So the strong
force has its own power source as in gluons that appear
out of potterland or quantum vacuum.


Huh? Forces do not need a "power source". And gluons in general
do not appear out of the vacuum, but are emitted by quarks.



Hmm... if the masses are missing in the nucleus since
they are released as energies. If you separate the proton
and neutron in the deuterium again, you eject energy into
them that converts it back to the masses of the nucleons, right?


Right.
