This is a history of the universe.

The Big Bang has over billions of years grown to become an immense non-copyrighted image. (Illustration by NASA.)
The four fundamental forces of existence are the electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force & gravity.
Fundamental forces for each of us are those listed above, metaphor, the history & everyday realities of society, and our personal lives and the lives of people we value.

Fractions of a second at the beginning of time were equal to millions of years later in existence. A lot can change in a moment. (Photo by FxJ.)

Complex things result from simple building blocks.
At some point around 300,000 years into the 13.8 billion year history of our universe, all the matter, energy and particles of existence were around pretty much as they are today. All stuff has done since then is just shift around like luggage shifting in the overhead compartment on a long flight.

Matter and energy behave differently in cramped and crowded positions. Circumstance matters. (Photo by Shashhankduhan.)
Existence is things moving apart from the force of the Big Bang while at the same time being brought closer by gravity. In life we decide what to distance ourselves from and what appears out of reach, and we decide what we want near us and what seems stuck in our lives though we might wish it would go away.

Most of the light in the universe never reaches us. Though this is in some part your decision. We may have to make our own light to find a path.
It is at least possible that there are different universes with different rules.
So lighten up and don't be rigid.

Even giant galaxies form groups and clusters because it is natural that we be together and connnected. (Photo by NASA.)

There are a lot of different ways to see and perceive things. (Image by NASA.)
