Looking at the bigger picture

The general pattern; are we made of stardust?

As a starting point, above is a cut-away illustration of our planet, showing the general structure of its formation / evolution. The evolution can be derived by working from the inside out. The core came first, with the crust forming a 'skin'. Next came the addition of water, the source of which is theorised as being from cometary material (although this is still just a theory - there are others). Next, from the presence of water came an atmosphere (gases) that enveloped the planet, held in place by gravity.

The metallic iron core generates a magnetic field that, in turn, interacts with, and provides protection from, the harmful radiation from the sun by diverting most of the sun's solar wind (harmful invisible radiation) around the planet, thus affording a level of protection from these biologically damaging electromagnetic rays. In this way the planet (our local self-organising system) set up the conditions conducive to the formation of biological life forms, of which we humans are one.

Comparing our physical pattern with the planet's pattern.

When we look at ourselves in this most basic form it is possible to see where the pattern that formed the planet coincides with our own pattern. Is this just a coincidence? Perhaps not.

The common parts; Core (internal body and organs that provide shape and form). Water (vital body constituent needed for circulation of nutrients). Atmosphere (skin that protects the body from harmful outside elements. Magnetosphere (the body's Meissner field - the purpose of which is currently unclear and largely ignored and unexplained by conventional biology). Nevertheless, it can be verified and imaged using Kirlian photography, therefore, does exist.

Are we made of stardust?
Ultimately, yes, but that is taking ourselves far outside our immediate realm of reality. In fact, our sun and planet are closer to a stardust state, but we, unless you subscribe to the belief that we have been genetically modified by ETs, are made entirely by, and from, our planet. We may come from stardust, but we are conscious biological microcosms made of our home world.

Meissner field effect: The Meissner effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state.

In a weak applied field, a superconductor "expels" nearly all magnetic flux. It does this by setting up electric currents near its surface. The magnetic field of these surface currents cancels the applied magnetic field within the bulk of the superconductor. As the field expulsion, or cancellation, does not change with time, the currents producing this effect (called persistent currents) do not decay with time. Therefore the conductivity can be thought of as infinite: a superconductor.
