According to the Big Bang Theory, the entire

universe was at one time confined to a dense, hot,


super massive ball. Then, after its formation, it
began to expand and cool; then, about 20 billion
years ago, a cataclysmic explosion occurred, hurling
massive materials in all directions, thereby creating
the Universe.
The universe is composed of 92 elements the
lightest H to the heaviest U. 73% of the mass of
universe is H, He 25% and 2% other elements.
Elements heavier than U, called transuranium
elements, are synthetic elements. Synthetic
elements are made by scientist in the laboratory.
