Introduction
Billions of years ago, when the dense speck expanded, the matter and antimatter should have disappeared and left nothing but energy. Still, some amount of matter remained and filled the world with numerous particles (Sundermier, 2015). Those particles circulating through the dark matter across the universe might pass through an individual’s body. These elements turned out to be the ones that made human life possible. The body of a typical human being of 70kntsg consists of 7*1027 atoms (How many atoms are there in the human body? 2015). Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen are the fundamental atoms the body is built of (Sundermier, 2015). It also consists of some amounts of other vital elements.
Main body
The life circle is known to be renovated in certain time frames – the renovation is indeed understood in many different ways. While for many, the “reboot” implies losing weight and renewing the image, the human body – its atoms and cells, in the first place – reboots regularly. Atoms construct molecules, which turn into cells, then tissues, and, finally, construct organs. Daily, the body takes in new atoms from the air, food, or beverages. They then incorporate in the cells, most of which regenerate every seven to fifteen years, many of which existed for a million years (Sundermier, 2015). Annually, 98% of all the atoms in the body are replaced. More than that, the DNA in every cell relentlessly copies itself. The atoms of hydrogen produced in the Big Bang, oxygen, and nitrogen, circulating in the human body, were created in the burning starts. The lifetime of the atoms is even more fascinating – they are forever. To be more precise, for a proton, for instance, it lasts over 1025 years (How many atoms are there in the human body? 2015).
Conclusion
In comparison, the current age of the universe is though smaller than 1010 years. This sophisticated construction called “body” is indeed a mysterious notion, bearing within itself millions of atoms born millions of years ago.
