We are stars???

Ever since childhood one of the most eye catching things for us are stars. Whether they have 5 points or twinkle in our nursery rhymes or even when we see them in the night sky, they have a strange attraction like someone you have a close connection to. Maybe that is not so wrong as everything we see around us even inside our bodies were formed inside the cores of these stars. Of course I don't mean that rocks, plants or arms, legs or kidneys were formed there. Rather all the elements that make up these things were and there is strong evidence to support it.

Almost everyone knows about the big bang. But the interesting thing is that not everything was created then and there. It's not like all the elements were created right after this event. Even Hydrogen and Helium that make up most of the matter in the visible universe were formed after a few minutes, once things had cooled down a bit. All the other elements that we know about took quite a bit longer and we can thank the stars for them.

Stars are often called furnaces because these elements were formed at the cores of these giant balls of fire. I know that stars are objects that don't have consciousness but all of this is actually really poetic. These stars work really hard for billions of years and when their work is done they give their lives so that the elements can be scattered and go ahead to become something else.

Without these simple, twinkling little dots in our night sky none of us would be here. So yes, I think that we are stars. There are a lot of people much more intelligent and qualified than me who have explained this in great detail so I would urge you to do a little dig around on google to find out more. I would also appreciate your comments here and any suggestions for me as well.
