Also known as nucleogenesis, Nucleocosmogenesis

thumb|alt=Diagram|Diagram illustrating the creation of new elements by the Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from nucleons (protonsand neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a fewminutes after the through nuclear reactions in a process called BigBang nucleosynthesis. After about 20minutes, the universe had expanded and cooled to a point at which these collisions among nucleons ended, so only the fastest and simplest reactions occurred, leaving our universe containing hydrogen and helium, traces of other elements, such as l
