CONCEPT MAP OF

STAGES OF BIGBANG THEORY

UNIVERSE
(Hot and densed)

EXPANDED ( INFLATION) Cooled down

Excess of matter
(electrons,protons,neutrons)
HOT AND DENSED MASS WITH ENERGY Became plasma soup (highly
energetic)

Photons scattered on
Protons + neutrons
FORMATION OF MATTER AND the soup
ANTI MATTER

Neuclosysnthesis (forms nuclei)

ANNIHILATION

Pairs cancelled each other back particles no longer scattered photons so

to energy RECOMBINATION (electrons, protons + light and energy moved freely across space.
neutrons) The period was hence known as the “dark
ages”.

Space also continues to expand at an Gravity caused these atoms to collapse

accelerating rate, thus increasing the onto one another to form stars and galaxies
distance between the matters inside it
