"The amazing thing is that 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, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today."
- Lawrence Maxwell Krauss
