"Every atom you possess has almost certainly passed through - TopicsExpress



          

"Every atom you possess has almost certainly passed through several stars and been apart of millions of organisms on its way to becoming you. We are each so atomically numerous and so vigorously recycled at death that a significant number of our atoms - up to a billion for each of us, it has been suggested - probably once belonged to Shakespeare. A billion more each came from Buddha & Genghis Khan & Beethoven, and any other historical figure you care to name. So we are all reincarnations - though short-lived ones. When we die our atoms will disassemble and move off to find new uses elsewhere - as a part of a leaf or human being or drop of dew. " Bill Bryson - A Short History of Nearly Everything ...science you are sooo kewl!
