Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis

The atoms of our world did not always exist. They were created over a very long time span. The relative numbers of different chemical atoms are not the same from place to place nor from time to time in the universe. This talk will explain the evidence supporting these conclusions.

Its key is the relative abundances of differing chemical atoms observed in different places. The atoms of our daily lives, the calcium of our bones or the iron in our blood hemoglobin, were created by thermonuclear reactors near the centers of hundreds of millions of stars that had evolved and died before our earth and solar system were born. Some stellar reactors became runaways that exploded violently, disrupting their stars.

Today we find evidence of this in stones that fall to earth containing exotic matter from those long-ago and far-away stars. I show how the origin of our atoms became a scientific question rather than one of philosophy or religion.

Many find implications for their philosophical view of our existence. Fowler Nobel Laureate in Physics. By studying gamma rays from the exploding star Supernova A, Clayton confirmed a prediction about the origin of the chemical elements that he had published three decades earlier. Clayton was one of the pioneering founders of the theory of the origin of the chemical elements in stars. His textbook Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis has become a classic. He has received many honours and awards in his career, among which are an A.
