It goes so much deeper than I can possibly imagine but many of us have been duped into believing carbon is bad. It's not. It's a transaction signed by God.

Helium Begets Carbon

In the hearts of stars, a process known as "helium burning" occurs. This is the fusion of the nuclei of two helium atoms to form beryllium-8, an extremely unstable element. One more helium fuses with the beryllium and creates carbon.

Carbon is the element that represents one in four of every non-hydrogen, non-helium element in existence. Here's the catch: carbon shouldn't be this abundant because Beryllium is so fragile that it disintegrates in a quadrillionth of a second making it very unlikely to be around long enough to fuse with the third helium nucleus.

Enter the Hoyle Resonance: Carbon nuclei just happen to have the exact resonance needed by beryllium to accept the final helium nucleus and fuse to form carbon.

Carbon is a Transaction signed by God.
