I always thought it was really cool
that the existence of heavy elements depended on something like the
Chandresekhar Limit, which is merely a limit on the mass of the iron
in the core of an aging star. It was one of those beautiful tricks of
nature that tells me that the universe is pretty wonderful.
Hmm, I just looked, and the wikipedia article on this includes other
interesting things I didn't know about Chandrasekhar and how his work
was received. (Which was derisively by the English scientific
establishment of his time, so he moved to the US.)
