Big Bang matter formation resembles education: Neither represents final stage

The Big Bang created a limited number of elements just like education develops a limited set of skills
George ILIEV

Matter was created in the Big Bang in the form of only three chemical elements: hydrogen, helium and lithium.  All other elements lighter than (and including) iron are born in nuclear reactions within stars in a process known as stellar nucleosynthesis. All the elements heavier than iron are created largely in supernova explosions.

This mode of matter formation resembles education and professional development. School and university education can teach a student only so much. The rest they can only learn in their job. The more stellar the company, the more the employees will learn.
