Ever wonder how most elements are formed? Fusion and beyond!

From the NOVA's "Origins" miniseries, host Neil deGrasse Tyson guides us on a journey into the mysteries of the universe, the Earth, and life itself.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a leading astrophysicist, the director of the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium, a columnist for Natural History Magazine, and the author or coauthor of six books.

  • It's a shame this isn't mandatory viewing in all schools.

  • It was Carl Sagan that said we are Star-Stuff, but there is a more poetic and more accurate way to say it. It is quite literally true that we are Star-Dust. In the highest exalted way one can use that phrase.  ~Neil deGrasse Tyson

  • @vinayakaya yep they should make this mandatory and ban those shitty 1980 video cassettes about chemistry

  • what's the whole/original documentary ?

  • @xylenol15 Iodine water looks like bromine

  • Did anyone else notice that the iodine vial had what looked like bromine in it?

  • @MrJackclarke at CERN they are on the verge of finding the higgs boson particle (the charged particle that gives matter its mass, the particle that holds everything together) Its called the god particle by physists because it is the reason there is anything at all in this universe. and we know how particles and elements formed in the early stages of the universe and the process is called nucleosynthesis. the universe was a hot dense gluon plasma state that cooled and formed elements.

  • @MrJackclarke there is no outside factor that influences the actions and interactions of particles. with where science is today and all the work done by CERN and the LHC why hasnt anyone ever detected a god? we know the bible is wrong about how life came to be. we know this through the work of molecular biology, astrophysics and evolutionary biology. the evidence is overwhelming. the whole god idea is out dated. study particle physics and youll realize how this universe works
