Incorrect, the hydrogen is mostly from the big bang. Not to mention that neutron star mergers produced a while lot of the heavier stuff.
There’s stardust all over my basement walls 😌
dont tell emos that there is a dead star inside them, they are already having a difficult time as is
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.
And probably cold, too.
“in the highest exalted way”
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?
They probably meant something entirely different - as in not so much that we are literally made of elemental materials forged in a burning sphere in space (a “reductionist” viewpoint) but rather than we contain an “aspect” of star-stuff, i.e. we may be animals that come from the earth, but we also contain within us an aspect of even the stars (more “holistic”?).
And perhaps beyond, if you believe that aspects of our Minds transcend physical reality itself - e.g. if we were a computer game but like, we could have been talking butterflies rather than talking apes, yet we were modelled after a “higher” world, to have five fingers on each hand and to be able to write our own stories, even make our own computer simulations “below” us.
Anyway there is no need to presume that they would have meant it in such an extremely literal manner as is common today.
