Abstract
The story of our creation from stardust was first told by Sir Fred Hoyle, starting in 1946. Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and Master of Trinity College, says concerning his predecessor:
Sir Fred Hoyle [is] … the person who more than anyone else explained and quantified this wonderful story which shows that we are linked to the stars in an even more intimate way than the astrologers think.
(2011; emphasis added)
Rees’s summary of Hoyle’s wonderful story of our intimate linkage to the stars is: “We are actually made of stardust” (2011; emphasis added).
