‘I Like to think atoms have a complicated love life when they met on a dust grain in the cosmos billions of years ago 

 

​

Cosmic Dating Agency takes a slightly comical take on the theory of atoms collecting together on dust grains in the cosmos to form different molecules. The atoms in our electronic devices we use to meet and match with other individuals were once a drift in the cosmos billions of years ago. Ejected from the cores of dying stars in vast quantities and collecting together within the interstellar medium to form new star systems, these atoms could be adrift for either millions or billions of years. It is theorised that dust grains and small rocks floating within this vacuum act as a perfect surface for floating atoms to collect upon and interact with other atoms to form molecules, even organic molecules.

 

Taking common phrases and emotions experienced in relationships between our species, Cosmic Dating Agency attempts to put a comical touch upon this process which may have contributed to valuable elements and molecules reaching early earth.
