I pretty much understand how it was created.I just want to understand the process of the beginning until now.
For example, in the beginning 4 parts divided ... gravity, strong, weak, electromagnetic.... stars formed from hydrogen, dust spinning.. collaspse of gravity... etc etc

I do have a seperate question.
Whats the difference between a supernova and a nebula?

I think the summary/overview would help a lot of people understand whats up.
It'd be nice to have a full understanding with a good synopsis.

Such a daring question, considering the time and effort involved.

The big bang starts 13.7 billion years ago with the hyperinflation of space (to the size of a grapefruit) and the seperation of time from mass/energy.

The universe continues expansion (continuing to the present time).

In the first microsecond of time energy and mass become seperate. Mass is in the form of subatomic particles.

In the next microsecond subatomic particles form protons and neutrons.

Within the first few seconds protons and neutrons form lots of hydrogen, a little helium and relative traces of lithium.

After about 100 million years gravitational attraction creates first generation suns consisting mostly of hydrogen. These are very large and short lived.

First generation suns create higher elements (up to as heavy as iron) through nuclear fusion. Lots of carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur are created.

First generation suns die in supernovae, which create forces to forge elements higher than iron, as well as scatter higher elements through the universe.

Second generation suns are formed, with accretion disks made of a variety of elements.

Accretion disks form planets, which have many elements capable of starting chemical reactions.

On at least one world chemical reactions in water forms shards of phenotypic RNA which starts an evolutionary process toward life.

It's a more elegant explanation than what is found in theological texts, and with a great deal of evidence from convergent sources as well.

13.5 billion years ago a pin point of energy appeared, this pin point was called a singularity, it contained only pure energy, it was incedibly hot, and its life span was just 10-43 second. Eventually it cooled to a point that permitted the formation of sub atomic particles. You must understand here, that energy and matter are two forms of the same thing. At this instant, time, gravity and space came into being. From there the universe evolved into what it is today. A super nova is a violent explosion that takes place when a super massive star runs of fuel and stops fusing hydrogen into helium, at this point there is no outward pushing force of radiation to hold back the force of gravity, the mass of the star collapses so quickly that pressure and temeratue reach levels that ceate atoms heavier than iron, there is a rebound affect and the outer layers of the star are blown away in a brilliant flash that can outshine the billions of other stars in the galaxy, a shock wave of neutrons and other particles desroy everything in their path for distances of light years, what is left behind is a neutron star. A nebula is a huge cloud of gas and dust from which stars stars and planets are born.

Get "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. It will explain everything.

If you pretty much understand how it was created then you know more than all the astonomers in the world!

Try reading Genesis.

Look in the front of a bible. That will tell you the real way it happened.
