The universe begins with a cataclysm that generates space and time, as well as all the matter and energy the universe will ever hold. For an incomprehensibly small fraction of a second, the universe is an infinitely dense, hot fireball. The prevailing theory describes a peculiar form of energy that can suddenly push out the fabric of space. At 10-35 to 10-33 seconds a runaway process called "Inflation" causes a vast expansion of space filled with this energy. The inflationary period is stopped only when this energy is transformed into matter and energy as we know it.

- time 0 seconds, the entire universe is confined to a single point which ha infinite temperature and infinite density. Time 0.0001 seconds, antiprotons annihilate protons and produce large number of photons, matter dominates over antimatter. Universe further cools and expands.

Time 100 seconds, electrons annihilate positrons. Time 56,000 years, matter density equals radiation density, the temperature cools down to just 9000 K. Time 200 million years, hydrogen and helium come together to form the first stars. Time 9.1 billion years later, the solar system, sun and earth form.13.7 billion years later,
