Identify the FALSE statement:

A fifth-generation star would have a greater proportion of heavier elements than a second-generation star. The elements of any person's body were once star matter; therefore we are all literally made of stardust. Our Universe is so old there are no first-generation stars left in it. Dense regions of a nebula pull in surrounding material and therefore grow in mass and density and rotate faster. An accretionary disk eventually grows hot and massive enough to become a protostar, then a star.
