      Well stars are WAY bigger then you think and actually would be impossible to make as humans, or at least for now.

      Now the small explosions of plasma I make are sort of like tiny stars, they are as hot as stars, are pretty bright like stars, BUT they only last about 0.001 of a second and are only 2-3mm in size… does that still count?
