    Actually nucleons did not form during big-bang nucleosynthesis. The big-bang nucleosynthesis fuses them into light elements, fixing relative abundances of the elements. The nucleons formed previously in a period or process called baryogenesis. For electrons, the corresponding process is called leptogenesis.

    'Leptogenesis'. That's such a beautiful word! Now to casually drop that into a conversation when buying milk.
