Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.

About This Quote

If you stop to think about it, it’s amazing that we are alive at all. Without our cells, the brain would be completely dysfunctional. Without our hearts, we’d be dead. Without our lungs, we wouldn’t be able to inhale oxygen.

Without the stomach lining, we’d starve to death. Without the lungs or the stomach lining, we wouldn’t even be able to die; without muscles to move our limbs, we wouldn’t be able to move at all. It’s crazy that all of these vital organs are housed in a single cell.

That’s why it’s so mind-blowing that cells can communicate with each other and make decisions on their own; without this process, there would be no life on Earth.
