Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    Author and science historian Dan Levitt has taken the phrase.. What’s gotten into you! and turned it into a fascinating book about what we and everything around us are made of.  He also dives into the history of how scientists have uncovered what we know today…or what we think we know today.  Joni Mitchell sang about us being star dust and Carl Sagan often noted that we are star stuff..

“The only atoms that came out of the big bang were four of them, the most prevalent being hydrogen.  Ten percent of our mass is made of hydrogen, which came out of the big bang.  All the other elements in our body were formed in giant stars.”

Author Dan Levitt.   The full title of the book… What’s Gotten Into You: The Story of Your Body’s Atoms: from the Big Bang Through Last Night’s Dinner.
