According to the Big Bang cosmological model, which of the following correctly describes the order of events in the first few minutes of the universe’s existence?


Answer: The universe began with one force representing the unification of all forces. During the first fraction of a second, the forces separated triggering a period of inflation. After a short time, matter and antimatter began to form out of the energy present in the universe. Most particles annihilated, but a slight imbalance of matter over antimatter allowed normal matter to dominate. The protons and neutrons underwent nucleosynthesis during the first three minutes creating the overall chemical composition of the universe.
