Atoms were formed shortly after the Big Bang, which occurred about 13.8 billion years ago. During the first few minutes of the universe, protons and neutrons combined to create the nuclei of light elements, primarily hydrogen and helium, in a process known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis. It wasn't until about 380,000 years later, when the universe cooled sufficiently for electrons to combine with these nuclei, that neutral atoms were formed, allowing light to travel freely and leading to the creation of the first hydrogen and helium atoms.

Are we born with all the carbon atoms you need for your entire life?

Yes, we are born with all the carbon atoms we will ever have, as the carbon in our bodies is not created or destroyed during our lifetime. These atoms come from the food we eat and the air we breathe, as they are constantly recycled through various biological and ecological processes. While we may gain or lose weight, the total number of carbon atoms remains relatively constant throughout our lives.


How many atoms power the sun and other stars?

Way too many to count. The stars have many trillions of trillions of trillions of atoms. When a star is "born," it only contains hydrogen atoms. As time goes on, the star uses nuclear fusion to fuse these atoms together to form heavier elements such as iron. In affect, us humans are made of atoms created in stars.
