<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2888501, member: 76194"]Picture this...the big bang created matter and antimatter. Luckily there was more matter than anti-matter and enough matter was left to have Hydrogen. Then that material was forged in giant blue stars with very short lives, and which died violent deaths, to create the heavier elements that allowed for longer lived stars and nebulas. Eventually one such nebula in this cycle created the sun and earth...and the rest is history. Really fascinating stuff. Our atoms could have passed through a dozen stars or so before we got here. And some of your atoms could have made up elements like gold or silver before being broken down inside another star and combined into newer and different elements, and eventually forming part of your body somewhere down the line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
