Part 4: Complex molecules

Part 3 <-4-> Part 5

Given the fact that matter is dismantled and remantled in space, and what is, for all practical applications, infinite possibilities inside of 23million-year timespans, it would not be too much of a stretch of the imagination to assume that at least some elements are created in these jets. You know, alongside entire galaxies, stars, planets etc.

Besides those snooty noble gasses who don't want to socialise, most all atoms act almost like little magnets.

Imagine you shot a billion of these toys into the vastness of space at insanely fast spinning speeds traveling at nearly the speed of light. they'll find each other sometimes and snap together to form new shapes.

All atoms contain energy. Some, like H2 mixed with O2, can consume energy to combine nto H2O and other atoms, like plutonium, can release energy when broken apart by alpha decay. In staggering amounts - The Atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima contained just around 1 kilogram of plutonium, yet we saw the devastating effects of that energy release.

Energy can also not be created or destroyed, and looking at those Astrophysical jets, how fast and how far they get ejected, there's LOTS of it to go around that gets carried with those ejections, especially considering the conservation of angular momentum.

During this process I'd expect to see many different chemical bonds and molecule formations take place, and these could look anything like the following molecules:

Let's take another example: Aluminium

In its natural form before we extract it, Alu is preset in complex molecules that have to be broken down in order to extract the aluminium.

Aluminium's per-particle abundance in the Solar System is 3.15 ppm (parts per million).[59][h] It is the twelfth most abundant of all elements and third most abundant among the elements that have odd atomic numbers, after hydrogen and nitrogen.[59] The only stable isotope of aluminium, 27Al, is the eighteenth most abundant nucleus in the universe. It is created almost entirely after fusion of carbon in massive stars that will later become Type II supernovas: this fusion creates 26Mg, which upon capturing free protons and neutrons, becomes aluminium. Some smaller quantities of 27Al are created in hydrogen burning shells of evolved stars, where 26Mg can capture free protons.[60] Essentially all aluminium now in existence is 27Al. 26Al was present in the early Solar System with abundance of 0.005% relative to 27Al but its half-life of 728,000 years is too short for any original nuclei to survive; 26Al is therefore extinct.[60] Unlike for 27Al, hydrogen burning is the primary source of 26Al, with the nuclide emerging after a nucleus of 25Mg catches a free proton. However, the trace quantities of 26Al that do exist are the most common gamma ray emitter in the interstellar gas;[60] if the original 26Al were still present, gamma ray maps of the Milky Way would be brighter.[60]

Aluminium is found in Bauxite

Bauxite (/?b??ksa?t/) is a sedimentary rock with a relatively high aluminium content. It is the world's main source of aluminium and gallium. Bauxite consists mostly of the aluminium minerals gibbsite (Al(OH)3), boehmite (γ-AlO(OH)) and diaspore (α-AlO(OH)), mixed with the two iron oxides goethite (FeO(OH)) and haematite (Fe2O3), the aluminium clay mineral kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4) and small amounts of anatase (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeTiO3 or FeO·TiO2).[1][2] Bauxite appears dull in luster and is reddish-brown, white, or tan.[3]

And here are the representations of those molecules mentioned above:

In summary: all material that exists came from a star or black hole somewhere. Gold on earth came from somewhere very far away from earth way before earth was even formed, for instance.

Next we'll be covering some smaller molecules.
