Atoms in chemistry are considered the basic units that make up the matter surrounding us. Contrary to what alchemists believe, atoms cannot easily be turned into one another unless one has an enormous amount of energy at one's fingertips. It would seem natural to suppose that atoms were formed with the big bang and have stayed that way ever since, but that is not true. We shall be exploring the ways in which the universe itself "manufactures" the atoms we're all made of.
