If the theoretical "Big Bang" created mostly hydrogen, helium and their isotopes and other things such as stars and explosion created the heavier elements, I don't really understand how stars formed from hydrogen and helium.
Hydrogen and helium dissipate in a vacuum. At below 14.01 Kelvin, they are a metal and can clump together. However, as soon as enough heat is generated, they should change into a gas and dissipate.
Maybe a planet-sized clump of metallic hydrogen formed and in the center, the metallic hydrogen got very hot. Would it have enough energy to implode into a star? Or would it explode with enough force to create heavier elements?
Maybe metallic hydrogen planets smashed into each other at tremendous speeds? That could create heavier elements and eventually cause star formation. That sounds more likely.
Jupiter and other gaseous planets are thought to have cores of metallic hydrogen.
But I don't like the "Big Bang" theory, as it stands now.
I like the theory that eventually all mass becomes energy (theoretically, all mass decays to hydrogen, which then decays into radiation energy), and since theoretically energy isn't affected by time or space, there will be a moment when all the energy in the universe is without time or space, which is what people call a "singularity" and from which supposedly came the "big bang", according to theorists. I think I prefer the term "sudden existence" of mass and space, which would do away with the need for cosmic inflation.
Maybe dark matter is metallic clumps of hydrogen, helium, lithium and other stuff that are too small to be visibly detected directly, and can be detected only through their gravitational effects on surrounding galaxies?
"Dark energy"? Could be the effects of pressure from all the photons and radiation shooting out in all directions. If scientist say they can build a solar sail to propel spaceships, then they should agree that photons and radiation exert pressure on mass causing them to spread out. Will this account for all the "dark energy"? I don't know. Could do the math. Maybe someday...
Did you know that the "edges of the universe" move away from each other at faster than the speed of light?
Wikipedia - Expansion of the Universe
Excerpt -
"This can be seen when observing distant galaxies more than the Hubble radius away from us (approximately 4.5 gigaparsecs or 14.7 billion light-years); these galaxies have a recession speed that is faster than the speed of light. Light that is emitted today from galaxies beyond the cosmological event horizon, about 5 gigaparsecs or 16 billion light-years, will never reach us, although we can still see the light that these galaxies emitted in the past.

Grocery Shopping Back to Normal in Seoul Regardless of Coronavirus
Most of the coronavirus cases are due to selfish people who want to avoid quarantine and hide from health officials.
In Daegu, a religious group continued to hold services for their 300,000 members in spite of some of their members being infected and submitted incomplete lists of their churches and members.
After cases spiked, they cancelled services and submitted a revised list. Authorities are investigating if they deliberately submitted incomplete lists. A couple dozen of its members are still not answering their phones and not cooperating with health authorities.
90% of the cases in Korea are in the city of Daegu and surrounding North Kyungsan province.
In Seoul, with around 10m citizens, shopping is back to normal, but only some restaurants and nightclubs are doing good business. A few cases are reported in Seoul each day, but a few cases are reported daily in many cities all around the world.
Korea has tested almost 180,000 people as of this afternoon, mostly members of the religious group (they account for over 60% of the cases).
Almost everyone wears masks in Korea and there are hand sanitizers everywhere.

Korea needs a president admits to experimenting with pot, like Obama. Too many uptight people here. Some are, like, pot smokers should be incarcerated for a long time because they are a menace to society. Geez! Take a look at the world today, pot is being legalized in more countries every year.
Did you know that Carlos was arrested for pot? I think he got a fine. I'm okay with $5 dollar fines, like in Ann Arbor in the 70s.

String Theory Proposes There Are Lots of Dimensions
Most say the dimensions in string theory are three spatial dimensions, a time dimension, and many dimensions that are so small that they cannot be detected.
I think that the dimensions, besides the three spatial dimensions and time dimension, are not so small they cannot be detected, but are the dimensions of meaning, intent, life, energy and so on that cannot be detected physically. Meaning, intent and life are "real", so they must have a dimensional quality.
