What Does BBN Stand For?
BBN stands for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
BBN, or Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, refers to the process that occurred within the first few minutes after the Big Bang, during which the universe cooled sufficiently for protons and neutrons to combine and form the lightest atomic nuclei. This process primarily produced hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of lithium and beryllium, laying the foundation for the chemical composition of the early universe. BBN is crucial for understanding the evolution of the cosmos and provides critical insights into the conditions of the early universe and the synthesis of elements.
