Q

IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY: the universe was extremely hot that matter did not exist.

23
Q

IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY:
four fundamental forces were formed… gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear forces, and weak nuclear forces

24
Q

IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY: universe continually expanded and began to cool down, allowing protons and neutrons to fuse and form hydrogen and helium

25
IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY: temperature became cool enough for hydrogen and helium atoms to form

26
IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY: photons escape and light existed for the very first time
5th
27
IDENTIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THIS EVENT IN THE BIG BANG THEORY: stars and galaxies began to form because of the joining of hydrogen and helium with the aid of gravity
