    How many particles of light does it take to push an electron into a neutron?

    What do you mean by "push an electron into a neutron"?

    So nuclear forces of fission and fusion haven’t been discovered at the electron level?

    I don't know what 'at the electron level' means to you.
    Fission and fusion are nuclear processes and occur in the nucleus.
    Processes that occur with electrons are generally called chemical.

    So an electron combining with the nucleus has not been observed.

    Look up 'electron capture'.

    That’s so simplistic I have no response. It’s like andromeda clashing with the Milky Way
