Don’t ask me where I am from - I am from the Big Bang / by Mirena Rhee

My sense of self has been gradually evolving as I read books, grow up, work, study and think. I've been following the axiom space launch and docking with the space station and simultaneously working on my latest installment of my sense of self.

My latest sense of self is aligned with what science thinks is the chemical composition of the human body, alongside the latest periodic table of the elements which describes how each element is born.

Don’t ask me where I am from - I am from the Big Bang

My latest sense of self is mostly space:

65 percent oxygen - forged in dying high mass stars

18 percent carbon - made in dying low mass star

10 hydrogen - from the big bang

3 nitrogen forged in dying low mass stars

4 other stuff also cooked in space

iron made white dwarf supernovae
