20. A COMMENTARY TO THE COSMOLOGICAL HYPOTHESIS

The basis of modern cosmological concepts is the notion that hydrogen and helium - the lightest of the known chemical elements – are served as "building blocks" from which during the process of thermonuclear fusion all heavier chemical elements were created. It is also believed that the source of "energy" emitted by the sun is still the same thermonuclear fusion.

However, this theory of emergence of heavy elements from lighter has a significant disadvantage.

Hydrogen and helium are very light due to the fact that their Force of Attraction is small and Force of Repulsion is large enough. If the Force of Attraction is small, there is no reason that could "make" chemical elements to merge with each other, forming thus the elements with a large number of heavy elementary particles in nuclei - that is, the heavy elements.

But the process of arising of light chemical elements (with less massive nuclei) from heavier (with more massive nuclei) is quite likely.

Once again we focus on the important point. The mass of a chemical element can change both due to changes in the mass of the nucleus, and by changing the quantity and quality of the "energy" in the "voids" of element.
