Where Does the Matter on Earth Come From?

Where Does the Matter on Earth Come From?

In the beginning there was no such thing as a universe, matter, planets or anything, but one day an explosion occurred which is called the Big Bang. The Big Bang laid the foundations for the universe. It is stated that the matter and energy all exploded from one point. There was a lot of energy in the form of light, photons. When the photons had enough energy they formed into either matter or antimatter. Matter is made up of atoms, which are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Each particle of matter was supposed to bond with one antimatter and they would create pure energy. Antimatter and matter are the same except the have different electric charges. There was a couple more matter particles than antimatter, and this is why there is matter in our universe. The universe had to mature in a way for matter to persist and as the universe expanded the amount of more matter grew. The matter and energy formed the universe and as the occurred the matter also formed clouds of gas. Later on when the gas was cooled and condensed stars, galaxies, and planets were formed. So if it weren't for the Big Bang there would be no matter nor a universe, planets, stars or galaxies.

The wevbsites i used to find this information above are the following sites listed below:

http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm

you can also directly type into google the big bang theory and you may find more information so you can go into deep detail about it.

i hope you find this helpful for any chemistry work you have to do
