| Description | Journal: Physics World Dwight D Eisenhower summed up the universe pretty well when he told us that "things are more like they are now than they ever were before". The expanding universe is a changing universe. The expansion creates an interval of cosmic history during which biochemical observers, like ourselves, can examine the universe. But what conditions must he met before life can exist? Self-reproducing biochemical complexity requires basic atomic building blocks that are heavier than the hydrogen and helium that emerged from the hot, early stages of the universe. These heavier elements – like carbon, nitrogen and oxygen – are macic by nuclear reactions in stars. They are then dispersed through space by supernovae and find their way into grains, into planets and – ultimately – frito pepol. |
