4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel shows two pirates, the first pirate speaks “Captain, our rivals have been calling us names again.” 2.

It’s relatively easy for recent things related to big technological advances (first phone call, first man in space…); but it’s nearly impossible for really old thing, because while you can find out one really old thing existed at one time, it’s always merely the oldest known occurence. An earlier one might’ve not left surviving traces, or it’s traces might’ve not been found yet…
People really think some element born within a star or supernova is the best? Even tho none of them even have a Nirvana song named after them? The best ones are obviously those created either during the primordial nucleosynthesis or by spallation, when atoms are hit by cosmic rays in colder zones.
