In fact, we are all made of stardust and from the same matter (Torres).  Figure 1 A mind-blowing fact that I learned during the talk was that scientists are able to take past information and compare it to science, physics, and mathematics to calculate what will happen in the future. However, the predictions may not be very accurate. A professor at the University of Connecticut, Turchin, is the driving force behind a field called " cliodynamics ," where scientists and mathematicians analyze history to find patt
