What are isolated quasars made of? Do you have any idea?

Checked out your link. It stated: 'One of the greatest mysteries in

the
universe is the Origin of Hydrogen.'. Weinberg describes how it came

about
in his classic The First 3 Minutes. In what way is his explanation
unsatisfactory?


I found the following nice link about it -

exactly
what part do you consider a mystery?

The widespread acceptance of the single Big Bang theory has profoundly
affected the sequencing of events in the evolution of the universe. The a
priori acceptance of the preexistence of hydrogen has also had a profound
affect on scientific perceptions about galaxy evolution, such as the
relative ages of elliptical and spiral galaxies.


I have carefully gone over the linked timeline. Exactly where is the
preexistence of hydrogen assumed? - indeed it is not until the second last
phase than hydrogen actually forms - 7 earlier phases occurred. And if one
accepts inflation even earlier phases existed. The question would seem why
is there a slight excess of electrons over positrons. Modern theory points
to some kind of broken symmetry -

'The present gaps in our knowledge of the laws of nature stand in the way of
explaining the initial conditions of the universe, at 10-12 second after the
nominal beginning, in terms of the history of the universe at earlier times.
Calculations in the past few years have made it seem likely that the tiny
excess of quarks and electrons over antiquarks and antielectrons at this
time was produced a little earlier, at a temperature of about 1016 degrees.
At that moment the universe went through a phase transition, something like
the freezing of water, in which the known elementary particles for the first
time acquired mass. But we cannot explain why the excess produced in this
way should be one part in 1010, or calculate its precise value, until we
understand the details of the mass- producing mechanism'
