things i think about at work:
sex
cars
sex
my mate
cars
my mate
sex
quantum theory
i think about these things alot when im underneath a truck, or operating a forklift. but sometimes when the mood strikes, ill think about more fun things...
like the fact that every atom except for hydrogen in the billions and billions that make up the human body (and everything around us, for that matter), has formed either inside a star, or during the turbulent firey death of one billions of years ago. interesting to think that we are made up of something like that. i wonder, do i have any stray atoms from the mezozoic era floating around in me?
even better, photons pass through us every day. every freaking day, weather or not you wear sunblock! ^.^ alot of people think photon=light. not true my freinds, photon=electromagnetic patrticle/wave. this means we are constantly bombarded by not just the sun, but from space itself. hehe, even when you use sunblock you can still get cancer... us being mostly water, our skin is translucent. it doesnt help the odds at all of a photon passing through on its merry way to knock an atom out of the dna of a single cell.
and lastly, the formation of our solar system. just the fact that it could be totally different from the way it is now if a few atoms, particles of dust, or asteroids werent there or were just a little off course. we might not be here to wonder this.
so yea, im in a better mood. thanks to my mate, even though i never talked to him today (trip down the rabbit hole made me appreciate things in a different view). had to stay late at work and buy a new internet card. i hope he reads this entire thing, and smiles. *pounces him*

Photons aren't the only thing passing through us. There are also neutrinos, which react only with the weak force. It is able to pass through the entire earth with very little effect. In essence, neutrinos from the sun appear to move from the ground and into space at night. It will easily pass through your body. Let that sit in your mind for a while. :Þ
As far as having atoms that are from the Mesozoic era, you most certainly do. I would bet that it would most likely be air or water based though. For a real trip just imagine how many times that cup of water passed through the kidneys of animals. xÞ (This is real fun to do to those alt med people)
