praf de stele

"Stars are giant fusion reactors that pound together hydrogen atoms, making heavier elements and releasing lots of energy in the process. The ones that went nova spewed their contents far and wide. By the time our solar system started to form, roughly nine billion years after the universe began, enough large atoms existed to make our planet, to make the hands that hold this book and the brain that understands these words."

You're here because a lot of stars blew up. Your body is made of stardust.

Aşa un gând mai filozofic care reflectă lumea, pământul şi tot ce există în prezent drept urmare a exploziilor stelare miliarde de ani în urmă. De la început totul a fost doar praf, praf de stele.
