So judging from my emmissions, I’m Big Bang meets exploding massive star meets dying low mass star, with maybe some exploding white dwarf thrown in.
“Gases are also what can make farts smell bad. Tiny amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane combine with hydrogen sulfide (say: SUHL-fyde) and ammonia (say: uh-MOW-nyuh) in the large intestine to give gas its smell. Phew!”

Big Bang is science?
Well, well.
Just disclose all the results of the experiment and show us where it was replicated.

Interesting periodic table, which I don’t understand.

Impossible...
The big bang could never happen... It goes against the laws that govern our universe.
It doesn’t explain where the matter came from, the energy, what caused the spin, or even why it exploded.
Besides that, why do we see moons, planets, and even galaxies spinning in the opposite direction?
It’s all a lie...

6. Big Bang replicated by Kamala Harris in her political rise to power.

I thought all the heavier elements are formed in supernovas.

table is color coded to indicate humanity's best guess as to the nuclear origin of all known elements. The sites of nuclear creation of some elements, such as copper, are not really well known and are continuing topics of observational and computational research. There is enough FACTUAL information out there, and enough REAL photography of the cosmos to post 10 threads a DAY and have enough material for 10 years of posting. I for one dont waste my time on, "Humanity's Best Guesses"!!

So before the “big bang” there was ONLY a big pile of electrons, protons and neutrons that exploded and by some unnamed force merged together into those spinning things called atoms and became elements.
Only we don’t know where the pile came from. And we don’t have any idea of the source of energy which made the big pile explode. We don’t know what force compressed ALL the electrons, protons and neutrons in the Universe into one big pile. [Actually the pile was a little pile, they say, about the size of a pea even though there were no peas and no way of measuring the little pile and no one there to measure it.]
Sigh.
