The Big Bang theory of creation has it that *protons neutrons and electrons formed after about a second.
™Before that it was indeed just energy. Keith A
========
*How?

™But whence the energy, please?

Cf old thread I OP'd a year or more back, "What Went Big Bang?", in which I quoted a Ben Elton novel to effect that this is the kind of question that only StupidPeople ask. I admit that, physics-wise, I am indeed a StupidPerson. But all these physicists are not; they are wise in the xtreme. So why-o-why is it always beyond their wisdom & sagacity to provide any explanation comprehensible to us SP?
