Apart from the objections raised by the others, this would be a really good idea, except that life would not survive. Come to think of it, such a change would invovle tinkering with hydrogen atoms too so the stars would not exist, or they would burn out in supernovas in mere seconds.

Apart from that, life could instead form in the atmosphere of Venus or Jupiter, or form thousands of shadow biospheres on Earth.

No life as we know it, no civilizations, no stars- come to think of it, the Universe it self might not exist.
