The big bang is a bit complicated.

Now, Kurzgesagt does an amazing video on this (and yes, I know mods dont like links very much) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNDGgL73ihY

I will explain as best I can.  So, lets assume that the big bang theory actually happened for right now before any debates arise.  First of all, we have no clue what even started it.  There are so many theories as to why it started and was their a universe before the big bang.

Now, this is the interesting part.  Every universe has its own laws.  We have four laws or forces in ours that we know of (and then we have quantum physics which completely messes with physics but we wont get into that).

The Force of Gravity

The Strong Force

The Weak Force

The <span>Electromagnetic Force
</span>
We have no clue if there are any other universes and if they are, do they have different properties.  If so, chemical bonding could be completely different.

So much could be different.

Now, we know there are also some laws like conservation of energy and law of balance.  Balance is what made the universe.  Atoms had to find their "mate" lets just say and create chemicals.  These chemicals would then go on to bind more and more and create other things over time as the universe was also expanding.

The universe is still expanding (and even accelerating its expansion).

Things must be chemically stable and thats how bonds are formed.

Now, this also kinda opens up "why" and science does not always answer "why".  Thats more for religion or philosophy.

Its very interesting and I suggest you look into the video I linked.

Hope this helps

One of the biggest evidence that big bang produced hydrogen and helium is the Cosmic Background radiation proof. CBR is basically the matter and antimatter energy released  during the Big Bang. The evidence of CBR are apparent as a radio signal which have a temperature of 2.7 K. Also, through extensive spectroscopic surveys  from distant stars and galaxies , it is found that hydrogen and helium  make up  all the matter in the universe.  Hydrogen accounts for 74%  while helium contributes 25% of the total mass.

<span>When cells were first taken from Henrietta Lacks, she was suffering from cervix cancer. Henrietta Lacks was a woman whose cervix cancer cells were used as the source of the HeLa cell line nowadays used in medical research. During treatment for cervical cancer in 1951, the cells were taken without her knowledge. The cells were cultured by George Otto Gey who created the HeLa cell line.</span>

Can you think of a situation where a high temperature would not result in an increase in photosynthesis?
joja [24]

Nothing can photosynthesize in the night time even if the temperature goes up. But even then temperature has nothing to do with Photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.

How is energy from flowing water different from iron,petroleum or coal ?
Sati [7]
The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.
