Nucleosynthesis with the Big Bang and the Supernovas?

AI Thread Summary
Nucleosynthesis is primarily explained through the processes of the Big Bang and supernovae, as these events are responsible for the formation of elements in the universe. The discussion highlights the availability of resources, including an Astrophysics forum on PF where users can explore related topics. Key educational materials are provided, such as links to HyperPhysics and various university courses focused on nuclear astrophysics. These resources offer comprehensive insights into the mechanisms behind nucleosynthesis. For a deeper understanding, engaging with these materials and forums is recommended.

Why can we only explain the nucleosynthesis with the Big Bang and the Supernovas? Where can I learn more about this subject?
 
Space news on Phys.org
First of all, we have an Astrophysics forum on PF in which there are many discussion on nucleosythesis, supernovae and Big Bang. One should use the forum search tool to search for key words.

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
