Why was hydrogen the first atom in the universe?

522 viewsOtherPhysics

To my understanding, at the very beginning there was the big bang when nothing (or everything?) existed in singularity, and then at some early point hydrogen came to existence. I understand how stars churn with gravity and heat and whatnot those bigger atoms such as iron at later stages of the universe. But how and why did hydrogen happen as the first atom, and why didn’t we have, say, uranium straight from the beginning?

Just after bing bang, energy was so intense that they *condensed* (idk the right term) into particles. Such particles are called Higgs Bosons or God’s particles. They form the foundation blocks of all sub atomic particles. With Gravity they kept clubbing until they formed the basics atom with one electron and one proton. This atom is called Hydrogen.
