The fundamental particles so produced would soon combine to form stable hydrogen and everything heavier than hydrogen would be formed in stars by thermonuclear fusion as is readily observed.
The continuous conversion of mass into energy and energy into mass means that the universe did not have to have a beginning...
The universe apparently began with the creation of LIGHT and all matter was derived from the initial light energy.
All matter is and was created by the decay of light. One may postulate a 'big flash', but whether it was local or universal (or if it was something other) is not yet known.
Since the energy/mass equation (E=MCC) works both ways and photons decay by giving off quantum amounts of energy in the form of Matter (quarks), the law of entropy is hereby made null and void.
Now if some enterprising physicist or quantum mechanics expert would show that the quanta of light that result in the quantized red shift have the same energy level as known quarks-
the quantum energies given up by photons is equal to the energy of the Quarks
-the theory would be essentially proven that light is the origin of all matter and would make the expert famous (and hated by all traditional astronomers).
Matter is turned into energy in stars and the energy decays back into new matter in space.
The universe is therefore eternal and infinite.

Another idea he espoused was how our genes can break off (telomeres) and it was possible in ancient biblical times for people to have lived upwards a thousand years. I looked it up and according to the genetics lab at University of Utah there is an estimate people could live 1,000 years "if all processes of aging could be eliminated and oxidative stress damage could be repaired."
P.S. This thread might also be used to discuss anything from the latest on Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey to the atomic principle.
