Sep 24 at 8:30 comment added Luaan @PM2Ring Yeah, and if the strong force was that little bit stronger, the Sun wouldn't last for billions of years so we wouldn't be here to observe the universe :D
Sep 24 at 4:20 comment added PM 2Ring Wikipedia says "helium-2 is extremely unstable [...] it would be much more stable (but still β+ decay to deuterium) if the strong force were 2% greater". It's never been observed (with certainty), but its half-life is much less than a nanosecond. As I said here, it's estimated that (in the solar core) the probability of a diproton converting to a deuteron is ~$10^{-26}$
