And so there was energy and matter in a gracious dance. Turning into one another. However, nothing lasts forever, and the excitement and joy ended up increasing distances, cooling the environment. And energy and matter were no longer connected as they were in the beginning. Nevertheless, there was a different dance now. Nuclei, and then, all of a sudden, electrons started pairing up with them. And there was a flash, when all the photons became free. And so they flew in all directions, in a loudly joy, singing songs of the very beginning - something that nothing could remember clearly now.
And then it was like time was running faster and faster, while the mysterious dark matter was shaping the distribution of matter that would eventually ended up forming the first galaxies. Those, getting bigger and bigger, formed the first stars, huge amounts of gas, giving up an unimaginable quantity of energy, specially in the ultraviolet domain. Nevertheless, such intensity can not last for long - and they died almost a moment after they were born. But they did not left without leaving their mark. Forever. With their enormous explosions, they created the first metals, and triggered star formation in all the nearby regions. Soon, a new generation of stars would be born, in a much richer environment. Some would even form planets. Us. Living beings.
Is it over already? Or was it just the beginning?
