The Push Towards Change
Around 10⁻¹² seconds post-Big Bang, the electroweak force split into the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces. The weak force transforms particles subtly, enabling essential processes like radioactive decay and nuclear fusion, allowing for life’s existence and change.

What Sparks Between Us
Electromagnetism emerged shortly after the Big Bang, shaping the universe by enabling chemistry, biology, and life itself. This fundamental force connects particles, facilitates communication, and is essential in our daily experiences and interactions.

The Weight of Light
Mass-energy equivalence, depicted by E=mc², illustrates that energy and mass are interchangeable forms of the same essence. This principle explains the cosmos’s evolution, underlining the powerful interplay that shapes existence and life’s cycles.

The Uneven Beginning
Baryogenesis, occurring shortly after the Big Bang, marks the moment when energy transformed into matter, leading to a critical imbalance between matter and antimatter. This imbalance is foundational for the existence of the universe and life.

The Glue of the Stars
The strong nuclear force, emerging shortly after the Big Bang, is essential for binding quarks into protons and neutrons, enabling matter’s formation, ultimately allowing the existence of stars, planets, and life itself.

A Pull On All Things
Gravity, an invisible force that binds all matter, originated with the Big Bang. It shapes the universe, affects your body, and remains a profound mystery despite our understanding of its behavior.

The Four that hold it all
In the universe’s early moments, unity prevailed before dividing into four fundamental forces: gravity, strong force, weak force, and electromagnetism. Together, these forces create the framework of existence, fostering relationships and balancing everything in the cosmos.

The Unbroken thread
The conservation laws assure that nothing is lost in the universe, maintaining constants like energy, momentum, mass-energy, and information. They provide stability and continuity, influencing everything from memories to the stability of stars and Earth.

The Inflationary Wind
The Inflation Epoch, occurring shortly after the Big Bang, describes rapid universe expansion, driven by the inflation field. This phenomenon explains uniformity, structure formation, and conditions allowing life, linking existence directly to cosmic origins.
