(1) “In the first episode of his famous TV series about space, “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” the late astronomer Carl Sagan wastes no time dramatically setting the stage.
“The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean,” Sagan says. “Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We’re made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
Building on that spirit, Jennifer A. Johnson, an astronomer at the Ohio State University, has hacked the periodic table of elements to show exactly what kind of “star stuff” Sagan is talking about, and how much.
Her graphic below, which we first saw in a tweet by science writer Corey Powell, shows the violent cosmic origins of every element in the solar system — including all of the atoms in our bodies:

Johnson said the idea for plotting out the origins of periodic elements started at a meeting 8 years ago with fellow astronomer Inese Ivans, but that early attempts (like this one) were unsatisfying.
“Once you have spent ~20 years getting […] this info into your brain, the main difficulty is not wanting to make the plot too complicated to include every little detail,” Johnson told Business Insider in an email. “In several cases I needed to say ‘OK, that’s close enough to get the point across’.”
She ultimately color-coded six types of cosmic events that can forge new atoms: the Big Bang, cosmic rays, merging neutron stars, and three different classes of exploding stars. Each portion of color shows the relative amount of element the event made.” (1)
Our Orign is in Cosmos
(2): “The hydrogen in your body, present in every molecule of water, came from the Big Bang. There are no other appreciable sources of hydrogen in the universe. The carbon in your body was made by nuclear fusion in the interior of stars, as was the oxygen. Much of the iron in your body was made during supernovas of stars that occurred long ago and far away. The gold in your jewelry was likely made from neutron stars during collisions that may have been visible as short-duration gamma-ray bursts or gravitational wave events. Elements like phosphorus and copper are present in our bodies in only small amounts but are essential to the functioning of all known life. The featured periodic table is color coded to indicate humanity’s best guess as to the nuclear origin of all known elements. The sites of nuclear creation of some elements, such as copper, are not really well known and are continuing topics of observational and computational research.” (2)
What then indeed this means for the truth about our food and food growing-production?
So when we read this above content, it is probably in place to confirm that quantum physics is an area where agronomists should seek truths about soil fertilization.
(3) “Natural nuclear transmutation occurs all the time. On Earth, the most common process is radioactive decay, by which an atomic nucleus emits high-energy particles, becoming a different element in the process. Uranium, for example, decays into thorium. Thorium itself is radioactive, as are its decay products, resulting in a decay chain that eventually ends at lead. The alpha decay that occurs as part of this chain also produces helium. Most of the argon in Earth’s atmosphere is from the decay of potassium-40. Cosmic radiation can also transmute elements. Nitrogen-14 becomes carbon-14, which eventually decays back into nitrogen-14. Cosmic ray spallation can turn argon-40 into sulfur-35, which decays into Chlorine-35.” (3)
Above content also changes the essence of knowing and acknowledging the truth about what actually nourish us humans, not just satiate (feed) us. If you like, you may find some more contents relating to this topic also under this link .
