"In the beginning, there was nothing-nothing at all anywhere. And then the sky was filled with twinkling stars, they themselves did not knew, why they were here." All the elements which make up the so-called life on earth are truly a by-product of stellar energy sources which drive the universe. For centuries scientists looked for ways to transform the elements and in particular, to produce gold out of sand. Stars materialize this long-standing dream of the alchemists, since they synthesize heavy elements out of an inherently lighter ones. In recent years we have witnessed a reversal in the line of research, from a quest for the production of the superheavy elements on earth, how they came about, and why, the research has turned into attempts to understand what the various compositions tell us about the structure of the Universe and associated hidden reality. The aim here is not to explain each and every concept related to superheavy elements formation, but to systematically correlate some crucial aspects to provide an unshrouded glimpses of their hidden values and probing insticts.
