    This type of nucleosynthesis is thought by most cosmologists to have occurred from 10 seconds to 20 minutes after the Big Bang. [2] It is thought to be responsible for the formation of most of the universe's helium (as isotope helium-4 ( 4 He)), along with small fractions of the hydrogen isotope deuterium ( 2 H or D), the helium isotope helium ...
