Go on an epic journey through time and space to explore our explosive origins.  Learn how gravity pulled together the first atoms to ignite the first stars after the Big Bang, how stars forged the elements of the periodic table, and how increasingly complex molecules led to the formation of our solar system and its planets.  Then dive into the ancient waters of Earth to see how those molecules came together to become single-celled organisms, whose metabolic processes shaped their environment.  This set the stage for the development of multi-celled organisms, which evolved into the diverse set of life forms we see around us today.
