Abstract: It is proposed a new interpretation of the nuclear fusion reaction on the energy produced in stars by including the strong and weak interactions, with which we may explain the union or ligature between protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei. The initial energy level of protons must be higher than were being estimated for fusion nuclear reactions; this energy is provided by plasma state (hydrogen ions and electrons) existent in stars remaining in the proper atomic nucleus without affecting its actual or inertial mass, because it corresponds to a virtual mass. Therefore, atomic nuclei are configured as an “abstract or inner space”, where the gauge quantum particles are provided with virtual mass; this space is distinct from the “exterior or common” one, in which particles (atoms, molecules and crystal) have real or inertial mass; electromagnetic radiation is compatible with both spaces. The emitted energy (electromagnetic) is due to the variation of “virtual” mass and to high energy photons or gamma rays formed by the union of electrons of the initial hydrogen atoms with positrons originated by the conversion of protons into neutrons, needed for the formation of nuclei. Stellar evolution involves obtaining only the so-called “white dwarf”, because they consist of ordinary matter as any planet.
