• ARTICLE: Thank God for Merging Neutron Stars by Dr. Hugh Ross
  • Astronomers have known for several decades that elements heavier than zinc are synthesized through rapid (r) and slow (s) neutron-capture processes. The r-process is known to occur in core-collapse supernovae and is responsible for the production of about half of all the elements in the periodic table that are heavier than iron
  • The new study calls into question the assumption that all the universe’s r-process elements are manufactured by core-collapse supernovae.
  • the appearance of a plateau (a leveling out over a long period of time) in the abundance of europium in several dwarf spheroidal galaxies indicates that r-process element enrichment is not continual but rather the result of rare but highly efficient events.
  • Apparently, the universe is designed so that the just-right number and types of merging events occur to produce the necessary amount of r-process elements so that billions of human beings can enjoy a global high-technology civilization here on Earth and use that technology to take the
    Good News of salvation to all the people groups of the world.
