i'm going to talk about where thechemical elements come from if you wantsomething close to a symbol i'm going totalk about the r-process and thes-process we're gonna talk about chemicalelements which means i need to venturealarmingly close to chemistry andactually talk a little bit about theperiodic table so first let me show youan astronomers periodic table which isthisthere are only three things in theuniverse as far as astronomers areconcerned there's hydrogen helium andeverything else which we tend to call metals.and the fraction of each we tend to callx y&z i'm going to show you this becauseit really annoys chemists but actuallyto a large extent it's sort of helpfulbecause actually was one of the thing...
