I’m surprised it’s not Beret guy at the stove… 108.162.245.186 03:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Yup, you have a point... NiceGuy1 (talk) 06:17, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, here "very high heat" is millions of degrees (any kind), yes? GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e (talk) 04:13, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Is the title text that stupid American thing where people consider themselves some nationality despite no cultural exposure because one of eight great-grandparents was? 162.158.2.77 04:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Taken to the extreme, to the time when galaxies were first starting to condense out of vast hydrogen clouds and form the first generation of stars and black holes. Nutster (talk) 04:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
I wouldn't say that, no... It's trying to boast long experience. Sounds to me like instead of going back in his life to, say, his childhood, he's taking humankind - LIFE - to back before human beings, back to cells in primordial ooze. Before even the formation of Earth, I think? Judging from mentioning space... NiceGuy1 (talk) 06:17, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

I’m curious who it is who added “exciting new forms of matter” with a citation to randall’s use of the same phrase earlier. This is a common way of talking for the comic demographic, although maybe a little immature as the decades pass. It’s different to see it cited, and I wonder if the editor was from a different culture or young or a bot, or maybe I am just going crazy. My name is karl i have usernames like baffo32 or xloem, i’ve been mentally ill for a decade or so but used to be a nerd. There seem to be fewer nerds here. 162.158.159.131 12:45, 20 May 2023 (UTC) I’m thinking the citation is for completeness and apologize for my craziness. 162.158.159.131 12:46, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Can someone provide the chain of reactions that lead from water to iron? I think the first step from water to helium might sound familiar to people, since that's the "classic" example for nuclear fusion. But how do we get from there to iron? Bischoff (talk) 12:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
