Big Bang 3 Marker!
* Universe began with single burst of energy * Early universe was small/very hot * Universe expanded and cooled, the energy condesnsed into matter * The matter created atoms and complex structures * Quarks combine = protons and neutrons = nuclei ≠ interact photons * Electrons stuck to nulei = atoms * Photons then travel freely = cosmic microwave background radiation * CMBR detected in 1965, has its own black body radiation, showing temp of universe - 2.7k
