Utterly terrifying
(files.catbox.moe)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
That's actually an interesting question, how many of the atoms we have today are directly from the big bang?
If that's the case I would say none then. The constitute parts aren't the item. (How many ships are produced by a forest? None, we use the wood to make the ships.)
All of them? At what point do we consider new atom formation to not be a part of the big bang? Isn't it still ongoing, at least until expansion and atomic formation stops?
I would consider a sun forming new atoms to not be atoms from the big bang.
