She has been in the womb for eight months. But her journey began long, long ago.
The elements that made her came from dying stars.
The water that flows through her body came from distant worlds.
The energy that powers her muscles came from the heart of our sun.
But it that most mysterious ingredient, the one that started ticking 13.8 billion years ago...that had led all other ingredients to this moment.
In this place. On this planet.
We are living in the age of starlight. A moment when time's arrow has filled the universe with beauty and wonder.
But it's a brief window of time that will never be repeated in the history of our universe.
No one can slow the passage of time, nor should we try.
Because without time,
There would be no now.
No moment in the sun.
No moments, period.
Without time,
There would be no life.
- Morgan Freeman quote from 'Our Universe'
