"To know where we came from, we should go back to the beginning, when there was nothing. That first moment in which there was no space or time. Everything was calm, until suddenly ... a big explosion."

"In the absolute darkness, a fragile boat sails with two characters on board. Two atoms, Helium and Hydrogen. They are the first particles to emerge from the Big Bang. Guide the vessel an old sage; time, from which arise the four fundamental forces that move the world. They will exercise their power to build the future universe."

1-Big Bang. AAt the beginning there was nothing, there was no space or time, neither you nor me. There was nothing. Until suddenly...

2-Quarks. It is called Quark and it is the smallest particle of all. It appeared a few microseconds after the Big Bang.

3-Hydrogen and helium. When the universe barely had a minute, the first atoms appeared. Formed by quarks, Hydrogen and Helium.
The two of them would be sailing alone for thousands of years.

4-Time. Who better than him to tell us where we come from. Only time has been able to see the universe since its inception. It is already more than 13.7 billion years ago. The whole story behind his back.

5-Force of gravity. The history of the universe is the history of matter that is organized. The force of gravity took care to gather a lot of matter. In this way the first stars were born.

6-Electromagnetic force. She is responsible for placing the electrons in orbit around the nucleus. This is how the first atoms appear.

7-Nuclear force. Your mission is to unite the nuclei of atoms but carefully. If it were to exceed force it could eliminate the hydrogen.

8-Weak force. This force takes care of the neutrinos. Such a tiny thing and at the same time so important in the universe.

9-Star family. White dwarf or red giant. They are part of the great family of stars that illuminate the sky.

10-Star dust. And when the star exploded, everything we know was born.

11-Black hole. In a black hole there is nothing and there is also everything. Yes, it's very confusing, but don't get caught. Not even the light can escape.

12-The furnace of matter. The inside of a star looks like a furnace. There the nuclei of carbon and oxygen will be created.

13-The first solid. In a universe where there was only gas, a few atoms decided to unite and form silicates, the first solid material.

14-Water. Where does the water come from? From heaven, literally. When the earth formed, many ice comets collided with our planet. They brought the water.

15-The primitive soup. Neither too close nor too far from the sun, the Earth is in the ideal place to cook life. Our recipe only needs four ingredients. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

14-Molecules. Inside or outside? Some molecules decide to close in on themselves, invent membranes.

17-DNA.The main inheritance of your family! As if it were a library, DNA stores a lot of information that is passed from generation to generation.

18-Cell variety. The first cells appear. Some will be red and some will be green. The animal world will use the red ones and the vegetable world the green ones.

19-Color explosion. Why is life so colored? Because it uses the pigment! A type of molecule that absorbs light.

20-Coral barrier. Did you know that it can be seen from space? In fact, it is made up of many, many living organisms.

21-A delicate balance. Life exists thanks to a delicate balance. We don't ramp it!.

22-Window to the past. To see the past we only have to look through a telescope. We can even see something that no longer exists.

23-Looking for the answer. If we want to know where we come from, we can ask the fossils. They can help us rebuild the past.

24-The infinite jump. With it, a new world is born. She invents art, love, war and wonders about its origins. The humanity.
