weaken the strong force

THESIS Main (won, as measured): the strong force has the value it has, and the deuteron is bound by just 2.2246 MeV (LIT). Ghost: "any value would do". MODELA square-well deuteron (radius 2.1 fm), with its depth fitted to 2.2246 MeV, gives V₀ ≈ 33.7 MeV. It unbinds when the depth falls below π²ħ²/(8μR²) ≈ 23.2 MeV, a 31% cut in this toy. Published estimates differ and depend on the model, so this figure isn't a literature value. Without deuterium, the pp chain stalls. Asimov's para-universe turns the dial the other way.
