Where were the atoms that make up a newborn baby manufactured?

Answer 1

Most of the atoms were manufactured in stars that exploded before the solar system came into existence. Atoms cycle from person to person with ever breath you take, perspiration is vaporized. We recycle atoms on a grand scale. Atoms are ageless. So you see the atoms that make up a baby forming in its mothers womb must be supplied by the food the mother eats.

Answer 2

The atoms that make up a newborn baby were manufactured inside stars through nucleosynthesis. Elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are formed in the cores of stars during fusion processes, and they are released into space when the star goes supernova. These elements eventually come together to form planets, including Earth, and all living organisms on it.

Answer 3

-- The atoms were manufactured in the core of a star that ended its life in the

explosion of a supernova sometime in the last ten billion years or so.

-- The molecules were manufactured in plants, animals, atmosphere, oceans, and

dirt, then torn apart and reassembled as different molecules in the mother's body.
