I was reading something about nuclear fusion, and that it’s so hard to get the right circumstances on earth to make it possible / sustainable (extremely high pressure, temperature). When I went further in the article it stated that the strong interaction inside atoms is 100x stronger than electromagnetic power and 10^40 times stronger than gravity. Why is that, and how is that possible?

That’s just how this universe is designed, I can go into the physics but ultimately all I’d be explaining is merely the underlaying cogs (mesons and gluons) that make it happen, because at the bottom of physics there are universal constants that just… are. However, if the the strong force in universe was just slightly weaker, large atoms wouldn’t have formed, so there’s that.
