Answer:
A big star collapsing creates a shock wave that can trigger fusion events in the star's outer shell, which is how I believe the process that took place in stars and supernovae to form the atoms that make up everything on Earth happened. Nucleosynthesis is the process by which these fusion processes produce new atomic nuclei. One of the primary sources of the universe's heavy elements is thought to be supernovae. It is possible to synthesize materials heavier than iron, such as uranium and gold, during a supernova because the star emits enormous amounts of energy and neutrons. All of these components are launched into space during the supernova explosion.
