How is the gold in a wedding ring evidence of ancient stars that ran their life cylcles long before the solar system came into being?

When the Universe was created in the moment of the big bang, only simple molecules like helium and hydrogen were formed. These gasses later formed stars which created other elements up to iron, but no heavier.

Heavier elements can not be formed by nuclear fusion in stars, and are not believed to be formed during the Big Bag. It is theorized that these elements can only be formed when massive stars explode at the end of their life cycle (in a supernova explosion).

Therefore, the presence of gold itself means that a supernova exploded and formed the metals.

Why is the temperature in space -270 degrees but yet there is a sun in your solar system?
