Incorrect, the hydrogen is mostly from the big bang. Not to mention that neutron star mergers produced a while lot of the heavier stuff.
If that hydrogen was previously incorporated in a star, I think it's fair to call it stardust. That's very likely, since our solar system would have formed from a relatively dense cloud of the remnants of earlier stars, with just a smidge of primordial hydrogen mixed in.
grumpy I guess
Tell me more about primordial hydrogen?!
All of the hydrogen was created at the initial cooling of the big bang. In this case what I mean by primordial, is that it was never part of a larger composite object like a star.
I also like the science behind particles like neutrinos blasting their way through everything in space and matter, even through our own bodies and cells. Every once in a while, one of those tiny particles hits a piece of DNA at just the right spot to cause a chain reaction that leads to a new minor or major mutation in the next generation. It's generally thought that this kind of physics is one of forces that drive evolution of all lifeforms on our planet.
We are made of star stuff ..... and we are and will always be affected by star energy.
Wait till this person finds out about basically every other element they're made of
i remember hearing that this was an ancient native american lesson long before it was understood by science. how they could have known this? are they a remnant of a previously more developed society?
Tell Lemmy you're high as balls without saying you're high as balls.
Shit, dude. My iron was at 2 after my last blood test. They keep pumping me full of star stuff--pow, straight in the veins--and I just keep burning through it. Why, stars, why! Why does thou forsake me! I am very tired, stars.
I've heard this so many fucking times I want to blow up the sun so I never have to hear it again.
