Helium Fusion and Degenerate Electron Pressure

This lesson will explore some very foreign and scary-sounding terms, including degeneracy, quantum, Coulomb barrier, helium flash, degenerate electron pressure, and helium fusion. I hope I didn't scare you away already. Those terms sound pretty bad, and they're actually quite complex. However, I will simplify them for you in a logical manner so you can go and brag to your friends about your newfound knowledge after you nail everything down. All of these terms can be used outside the scope of this lesson, but for right now we'll focus in on how they relate to helium fusion in red giants, stars that have run out of hydrogen to produce energy.
