My understanding is that matter tends to converge and form stars and in those stars fusion creates heavier atoms from lighter atoms, and this process repeats continuously. if this is true wouldn't it imply that throughout these star cycles the average atomic mass will just increase, and as the universe gets older there will be less light atoms and more heavier atoms? or does fission occur in novas producing light atoms from heavier atoms and thus creating some sort of steady state spread of atomic mass in these cycles?
