"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a
different star than your right hand. It really is the
most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all
stardust. You couldn't be here, if stars hadn't exploded,
because the elements -- the carbon, the nitrogen, the
oxygen, the iron, all the things that matter for
evolution and for life -- weren't created at the
beginning of time. The stars died so that you could be
here today."
- Lawrence M. Krauss, American physicist
