Look in the cosmos, the number one ingredient in the cosmos is hydrogen. Next in the universe, oxygen. Next on earth and in life? Oxygen. Next in the universe? Carbon. Next in life, carbon. Next in the universe, nitrogen. Next in life, nitrogen. One for one, you go down the list . We are not simply in this universe, the universe is in us."
