Relate the temperature of the Big Bang to pair production in the quark and lepton epochs

What will be an ideal response?


The higher the temperature, the greater the energy of the colliding photons, and the heavier the particle-antiparticle pairs created; hence heavier protons and neutrons formed in the quark epoch before the lighter electrons in the lepton epoch.
