-In this stage called "inflation", the supercompressed Universe expanded and grew at an enormous speed.
-The Universe expanded from the size of an atom to that of a grapefruit in a tiny fraction of a second.

Time:10⁻³²  sec.
Temperature:10²⁷ degrees
-The Universe is a sheething, like a hot soup of electrons, quarks and other particles.
*quarks: a quark is a tiny particle which makes up protons and neutrons.

Time: 10-6  sec.
Temperature:10¹³ degrees.
-A rapidly cooling cosmos permits quarks to clump into protons and neutrons.
-Quarks make up protons and neutrons, which, in turn, make up an atom's nucleus. Each proton and each neutron contains three quarks.

Time: 3 min.
Temperature: 10⁸  degrees
-Still too hot to form into atoms, charged electrons and protons prevent light from shining: the universe is a superhot fog.

Time: 300.000 years
Temperature: 10.000 degrees
-Electrons combine with protons and neutrons to form atoms, mostly hydrogen and helium.
Light can finally shine.
-The hydrogen and helium atoms had a percentage very similar to the current percentage.

Time: 1 billion years.
Temperature: -200 degrees.
-Gravity makes hydrogen and helium coalesce to form giant clouds that will become galaxies; smaller clumps of gas collapse to form the first stars

Time: 15 billion years.
Temperature: -270 degrees.
-As galaxies cluster together under gravity, the first stars die and spew heavy elements into space; those will eventually turn into new stars and planets.
-Planets are formed around a new star by condensing in a disc of molecular gas and dust, implanted within a larger molecular cloud.
