Fusion of quarks release 8 times more energy than hydrogen fusion, so I was wondering if quark star exists and before quark degeneracy pressure kicks in wouldn't these tightly packed sea of quarks start fusing and eventually becoming a miniature neutron star?
I think in normal scenario due to the short range of strong force and quark/neutron cannot be found alone in nature compare to the condition of quark star where quarks should easily fused with each other and outshines almost everything in the night sky.
