     Choose the best one    A popular theory  explaining the evolution of the universe is known as the Big Bang Model. According to the model, at some time between ten and twenty billion years  ago, all present matter and energy were compressed into a small ball only a few kilometres  in diameter. It was, in effect, an atom that contained in the form of pure energy all of the components of the entire universe. Then, at a moment  in time that astronomers refer to as T = 0, the ball exploded, hurling the energy into space. Expansion occurred. As the energy cooled, most of it became matter in the form of protons, neutrons and electrons. These original particles combined to form hydrogen and helium, and continue to expand.
