I'm Jasmin and I believe everyone serves simply as part of the universes cycle. We live, we produce ideas, we create, we die and our atoms break down and become something new. We serve as building blocks to the universe. The oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus that make up 99% of our mass become something new. It could be as simple as a flower, or as complex as a newborn star. This blog simply serves as a tribute to science. It may include anything from astronomy/astrophysics to geology to neuroscience to engineering and everything in between. This blog may also include the occasional personal post and rant on capitalism. (and Carl Sagan, can't forget Carl Sagan)

Carbon-12 is the most abundant, and most stable form of carbon accounting for almost 99% of carbon atoms. Carbon is also the building block of life as we know it.
Is this a coincidence? A message reminding us that there is life somewhere in the observable universe? Or a sign that there is a universal constant of life?
This number is also equal to Avragado’s number, one of the most important constants in modern day chemistry.
