We are Stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
A comforting night of awe in the remote mountains watching a potion of stars sprinkled across the night sky reminds that our anxieties, fear, doubt, and pains are all passing trivialities in the grand scheme of life.
A sense of gratitude and deep calm dawns upon the viewer.
In Lawrence Krauss's words:
It 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 God. The stars died so that you could be here today.
