A fascinating scientific analysis tackles the claim that we contain atoms once belonging to William Shakespeare. By tracing how the Bard’s atoms were shed and dispersed through global biogeochemical cycles over 400 years, researchers calculate the mind-boggling probability. The conclusion? You likely have billions of his atoms inside you right now, connecting you physically to history.
