I offer this bizarre thought. Right now, some laboratories try to imitate the evolution of life on Earth and even try to create artificial life. What about trying to imitate the evolution of matter or create artificial matter? What an interesting challenge! Can we think about other particle sizes and charges and why these proposed particles won't be as durable as the ones we have?

An evolution of the universe does explain some things we see. We can make tests, and a good negative test (always the best kind) might be to see if the Earth has always had about the same mass. If we find it has, then we can suspect matter doesn't have a half-life, and the theory has to defend itself.

FROM MATTER TO EARTH

Here we'll review some steps towards what we see in our night sky summarizing details from Chapter Eleven. We can assume protons and their close relatives already travel around together.

Long after "The Beginning"

CHANCE

1) Protons and electrons pass by each other, creating filaments.

2) The filaments get so big that gravity shows its attractive face.

3) Compressing the clumps forces electrical energy to follow existing filament lines.

SELECTION

Eventually, these filaments become stable, like water becoming quiet.

The new force of gravity starts shaping filaments into clumps, as if the quiet water broke through a crust.

Electrical energy shooting out of a quasar allows a galaxy to form.
