This week I learned something about Argon that I think is fascinating. Argon is a noble gas. On the periodic table, it comes in at number 18. It is colorless and odorless and heavier than air. Argon is available in small amounts on earth - in our atmosphere. Argon does not react well with other elements - tends to stay the same no matter what else is near. So far that is not the fascinating part. Here it comes, wait for it, wait for it - We are breathing the same molecules of argon as our forebearers back to the beginning of time. And our descendants will be breathing the same argon that we have used in our bodies.
We are all connected.
