"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. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today"

He aint a movie star but in 12 century france he is a heretic and would be about to get closer to god via one of his fiery furnace's started by the villager's

Funny thing is that that is one of the more credible and insightful things I've seen from a BFL employee to date.

Agreed ...he actually said the word Physics and understands the creation of matter therom

Having said that the guy is still 18 years old...and i am sure he uses this to try and pick up chicks... Cheesy

Actually the prevailing theory is that matter came into existence before the stars. Far more complex combinations of matter came from the furnace of stars (afterwards).

Hopefully he isn't a slacker with ASIC designs as much as physics?

Correct

Depending on the heat & pressure in the star determines the number on the periodic table as to what atomic matter the star produces ..

But it is still a good pickup line for an engineer to get laid...lol
