Immediately (much less than a second) after the Big Bang, the universe
was both too hot and too dense for elements to form. Hydrogen didn’t
appear until the universe had spread out — and subsequently cooled —
enough for the first protons and neutrons, and later simple atoms, to form.
Between about 10-12 and 10-6 second after the Big Bang, neutrinos, quarks, and
electrons formed. Protons and neutrons began forming shortly after, from about 10-6
to 1 second after the Big Bang. Within about 3 minutes after the Big Bang, conditions
cooled enough for these protons and neutrons to form hydrogen nuclei. This is called
the era of nucleosynthesis. Some of these nuclei combined to form helium as well,
though in much smaller quantities (just a few percent). But after about 20 minutes,
nucleosynthesis ended and no further nuclei could form.
The Origin of Universe is the Origin of everything. Creation Maps from all over
the world and so many theories have been formulated to explain its mysterious
genesis. However the most accepted explanation is the Big Bang Theory.

Most of the hydrogen and helium in the Universe
were created in the moments after the Big Bang.
Heavier elements came later. The explosive power of
supernovae creates and disperses a wide range of
elements.
Astronomers use the big bang theory to describe how the cosmos came into being. 
It is the hypothesis that the universe started out as a single point, then grew and stretched unt
il it reached its current size—and is still growing.

About 400 million years after the Big Bang, the universe began to emerge from the cosmic
dark ages during the epoch of reionization. During this time, which lasted more than a half-
billion years, clumps of gas collapsed enough to form the first stars and galaxies, whose
energetic ultraviolet light ionized and destroyed most of the neutral hydrogen.
The problem at this point was that electrons couldn’t stay in orbit around any
atomic nucleus because of the immense heat and radiation still flooding the
universe. Shortly after any neutral atoms would form (neutral atoms simply
contain the same number of protons and electrons, and thus carry no overall
charge), they were knocked apart again by energetic radiation.
Although the expansion of the universe gradually slowed down as the
matter in the universe pulled on itself via gravity, about 5 or 6 billion
years after the Big Bang, according to NASA. a mysterious force now
called dark energy began speeding up the expansion of the universe
again, a phenomenon that continues today.
