Dinosaurs Made My Tea

Yesterday I made a cup of tea.  It was hot.  Heat is energy.  The energy came from the burning gas on my stove.  The gas came from natural fossil fuels that contained the latent energy.  The fossil fuel got the energy from the bodies of animals that died and began decomposing around 300 million years ago.  The energy got into the animals from the plants they ate.  The energy got into the plants by the photosynthesis of sunlight.  The sunlight got into the plants after making the 8 minute journey from the Sun to the Earth about 300 million years ago.  The energy got into the sunlight from the thermonuclear reaction of hydrogen atoms inside the sun.  The hydrogen atoms got inside the sun by mutual gravitational attraction sometime shortly after the big bang about 20 billion years ago. I had to wait about 3 minutes for the tea to cool down.
