[00:00:00]The first stars ever born had nothing.

[00:00:03]No iron, no carbon, no oxygen, just hydrogen, helium, and [clears throat] zero life experience.

[00:00:11]Population three stars, the OG ancestors of everything you see tonight. They were absolute giants, hundreds of times more massive than the sun.

[00:00:22]They burned through their fuel in about a million years, which in star terms is basically a coffee break, and died in the most violent explosions the universe has ever seen.

[00:00:33]But here's why you should care enough to subscribe.

[00:00:36]Every single carbon atom inside your body was forged in one of those [music] explosions. You are literally made of dead giant stars, and not a single one survived long enough for us to prove they existed.

[00:00:52]So, did they?
