Origin-of-the-universe theories usually describe the condensation of great masses of hydrogen twenty billion years ago, resulting in an explosion that created, in a split second, all the known elements of the universe. Primary among these elements were hydrogen and some helium. Hydrogen today makes up 99 percent of the matter everywhere.

All the elements in my body can trace their ancestry back to the beginning of stars. This important fact ought to forge a sense of connection in each and every one of us.
