You are, quite literally, cosmic! ✨🪐
Your body is a collection of about seven billion billion billion atoms. Mindless particles, without a thought of their own... Yet somehow, they are so desperate to be « you. »
They will build and maintain all the countless systems necessary to give you form and shape, letting you enjoy the rare and dazzling condition known as life.
Here are a few mind-blowing facts about the body you live in:
⏱ Every Single Second: In the second or two it takes you to read this sentence, your body will have made a million red blood cells!
🦠 The Mystery of Cells: Your body is made of 37.2 trillion cells. A cell is just a capsule of dead stuff. But somehow, when these parts are brought together, you are alive. This is the part that science cannot explain.
🧬 A Journey Beyond the Solar System: If you wound all your DNA into a single strand, it would stretch sixteen billion kilometers! That goes far beyond Pluto, pretty much to the edge of the solar system.
Just think of it... there is enough of you to leave the solar system. ✨
