The National Ignition Facility of america recently got 3.9 Megajoules of energy, but i dont understand how splitting or fusing atoms generates energy, when i split a block of wood, no energy is released, same if i glue two peices of wood together, i cant understand it, can somone please explain it to me? thanks in advance

If you break your walls, your roof falls on you(energy is released).

Oh wow so, the energy I get fron eating like 75 kg of wheat ? Kek.
Einstein claimed E=mc^2 and different nuklei tend to have different weight than the sum of their components or thoae you can make through their combination. When doing so the difference is produced as a photon.
