While the saying “we are stardust” seems poetic but vague, it is literally true. The atoms of your body were created in the cores of stars billions of years ago. We should use this knowledge to draw closer to each other and share the joy and fear of our brief existence. Recorded at TEDxBaltimore January 2016.
Michelle Thaller PhD is the assistant director for Science Communication at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. She manages the SSC education and public outreach program, writes a monthly science column for the Christian Science Monitor, and has made numerous appearances on television.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

The most important quote I've heard in 71 years: "We are the universe becoming aware of itself."

Since you are in 73 years old . I want to tell you How God created His earth . Take a ball . divide it vertically from the Middle. We will Have upper side and lower side of the ball . The upper side in white. Take it an throw it in Air . It will become scattered stars Magnetically connected to each other . 11 planets , Sun and moon they turn parallelly above the lower side the earth . So that's is in first heaven. There are on the top of it 6 heavens look like one layer of smoke and Gazes in Gold, Copper, Silver color . Now we go to the lower side Earth its huge and has on its side and under it only ICE . No universe, No space ..but satan' s worshippers want to make your brain lost in darkness . Always thinking about things doesn't exist . Your brain will go up and down ..just lost and confused because satan' s Throne is in water on earth .that's why they don't want you to know the truth... Rely to God ask Him guidance . You will know the truth.

Woitek K - What do you think is wrong with what she’s saying? Hydrogen is a simple atom, it’s what the universe was entirely made up of- hydrogen became stars, stars make more complicated elements, the big ones explode, hit gas clouds and create even crazier stars with even more complicated elements- and all that needed to happen to get us. So what she is saying is that we are literally star dust. It’s beautiful when you think about how amazing it is, and how much bigger it is than you- and yet you and I are all apart of it.

You're not alone Michelle, I wonder daily why we humans aren't all just spreading as much love to each other as possible because we are only here for an insanely short amount of time cosmically speaking. Every time I ever see Michelle Thaller talking about astronomy her passion, joy, and love of our universe and everything in it is always shining brighter than a supernovae. I wish everyone radiated Michelle's love and positive energy, the world would be Utopian then.

The religion of scientism, WOW, I thought science was just a body of knowledge/information produced by intelligent beings. Invention without an inventor, masterpiece without a master worker, design without a designer and everything from nothing. No wonder Dr. Steven Weinberg said "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." Now I understand why the atheist community has a problem with depression that leads to suicide.

By seeking to understand the reality of the universe, there's beauty and wonder to be found. Being an atheist doesn't make you see the world dully, it opens you up to the amazing, awe-inspiring reality of our world and our place in it.

However what she says only strengths my belief because it says in the creation story we are make from stars. People just don't know how to interpret the book correctly. Religion causes war but to break away from that you find truths and sometimes you believe in the creator sometimes not either way it all works itself out in the end. This world is a trully beautiful place.

I simply adore you by how much talented you are in simplifying usually complicated things about science. I grew up loving science and the curiosity in me has never petered out. Having a conversation like this among friends is unfortunately usually avoided let alone have friends who share the same curiosity and passion about science. I think if almost everyone in the science community is as good as you in communicating science I think there's really a brilliant future ahead of us. Thank you Michelle for the inspiration ❤️

I feel as you do, that humankind should be cherishing our brief existence here on our rock. That we should be united, together conquering all that ails Earth so we can then get on with creating marvelous things so we can learn more about the universe before our time is up...

Brava! "We are stardust, we are golden, "We are billion year-old carbon, "And we've got to get ourselves back to The Garden." - Joni Mitchell, _Woodstock,_ 1969-70 Recorded by her, and also by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young I believe that heavy-element nucleosynthesis in SN's was already known at that time, and that those lines were an informed composition. Anyone know whether those two things are true? Fred

It was likely known intuitively not necessarily a peer reviewed fact. In my physics program the entire focus was QM as relevant to semiconductor theory and computerized data aquisition for experiments

How emotional, the atheistic Faith by Lawrence Krauss the Sage of nothing ; in the beginning was the particle, which emanated from the nothingness, and time ensued with the particle and after 13 billion years its multiplication became manifest and through its self-organizational powers and without purpose or intent it fashioned itself into Solar System's, planets and galaxies and ultimately the living cell, in particular the nucleated living cell. The Cell endowed with capabilities of billon chemical operations per second, and then multicellular organism with trillion of cells highly coordinated interactions which ultimately became conscious, behold the power of the God Particle. Praise be the God of Nothing. The atheist are mystics of nothing.

This , exact understanding and truth is something that I have deeply connected over the past couple years now I’m 25 but when I was 20 I really put all the pieces together and awoke to what we all are and made up from. Such a beautiful video and I hope every single human on earth finally gets this and lets it click in their brain so people can see this bigger picture of what we represent on this planet and all space outside of our planet, and how special and fragile it is , thanks again (:
