Stardust

Every atom in your body came
from a star that exploded.

And the atoms in your left
hand probably came from a
different star than your
right hand.

It really is the most poetic
thing I know about physics:
You are all stardust.

-Lawrence Krauss

Mr. Krauss is not a poet, he’s a physicist but I think these thoughts are so beautiful and eloquent that they could pass for poetry.
