No Matter Existed, only a Singularity. Singularity inflated. Radiant energy filled the universe and elementary particles came into existence. Pre-existing matter such as quarks made up new particles. Atomic Nuclei was formed. Subatomic particles were created. Proton and neutron fused. Heavier nuclei were formed through series of nuclear reactions. Cloud of cosmic dust and gases from the Big Bang cooled to the extent that nuclear fusion process was no longer taking place. Stars formed, and then grouped together to form galaxies and universe continued to expand up to the present times.
