What Happened After The Big Bang

Right after the big bang,the Universe began stretching like a huge balloon Space and time began to expand at an incredible rate,this phenomenon is called the inflation of space.Later,the Universe became cooler and the particles that make up matter began to form out of the energy.
Right after the Big Bang,a tremendous surge of energy was released,and the universe was born.there was a total turmoil as the elementary particles went crazy.The universe at that time existed as a soup of free-roaming fundamental particles that didn't obey the normal rules  of physics.This is why the early Universe is sometimes referred to as 'Particle Soup'.
the picture explains the step by step formation of the present  universe
As we know the present universe formed as a result of a massive explosion.Only the quarks,leptons and the force particles were present in the Universe just after the Big Bang.But as the universe cooled down(about 1000 billion degree)quarks began to form clusters of quarks with the help of the gluon s and thus form protons and neutrons.(for more info on the structure of protons and neutrons click  here)
