Document Summary
The big bang created everything time, space, energy and all matter. Singularity", any two points in space were so close together that density (density = mass per unit of volume) was infinite and, of course, infinitely dense matter is not something we can get our minds around very easily! In this chapter, we will accept that the big bang created matter, that the most basic forms of this matter combined to form elements, and that eventually pockets of matter/elements combined to form star-planet systems. This latter process is known as the solar nebular disk model, or simply the nebular hypothesis. Please note that this is still in the hypothesis" stage and is not ready for the theory" label just yet. Some notes on the nebular hypothesis, from the university of tennessee. About one second after the big bang, when the universe was blown into being", the temperature was roughly.
