I spent many years studying how the human body functions. In my search to understand how and why liver cells were different than heart cells, I dove head first into DNA. With DNA comes rna, genes, genome, proteins, sugars and amino acids. I dug deeper into the elements that created these molecular compounds. These atoms continue to "fit" themselves together to create larger and larger units, such as skin, bone and hair, all directed by the genetic code. The body is the orchestra and dna is the leader.
Why do these chemical reactions occur with such precision? I began to study how atoms were formed and understand the concept of "properties". What makes the property unique depends on the number of electrons orbiting the neucleus. Each electron bonds with the neucleus to define the "electromagnetic field". The more electrons around an atom, the more fields interacting with each other forming unique properties for each "elememt".
I recently went back to research the collisions of Gold atoms. As the neucleuses collided, there was created a plasma of particles that are hotter than the center of our sun. These collisions help the scientists to define mathmatical theory. This was too much for me and as I was reading about "isotopes", I had a brain flash. How was the first atom created after the big bang.
What came out of the event was a super fast, super hot spray of plasma. This spray contained quarks that could not bond until the tempurature dropped below a trillion degrees. When 3 quarks do combine, it releases an electron which defines the space of the newly formed Hydrogen atom. This fusion of 3 quarks is now called a proton. The atom is huge and all matter, quarks, that are within the shell are shoved into neighboring plasma to force more quarks to fuse, making more hydrogen atoms, 1 proton and 1 electron. I began to think, how could it be that there was also a little helium created as well? I found my answer in the isotopes.
Hydrogen 1p + 1e, Hydrogen2 1p+1n+1e, also know as hard water, deuteriium, and very stable, Hydrogen3 1p+2n+1e (trititum), not stable with 12year half life.
Helium 2p+2n+2e, Helium3 2p+1n+2e, helium5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are all unstable with half lives in the seconds.
This means that at some point, there was enough force to enable up to 4 quark clusters (protons or neutrons) to come into a stable existance. Once the expansion hit a certain point, atoms could not be created until gravity took over and stars were born.
Before the big bang, there was only plasma containing no atoms but lots of building blocks of matter.
