An atom of hydrogen is made up of an electron and a proton. Neutrons not bound by atomic nuclei decay quickly into a proton, and electron, and an electron anti-neutrino. So hydrogen (along with just a few other particles) could be said to be a building block from which everything else can be made. In fact, through the element we call iron, everything lighter in atomic weight is made from hydrogen inside of stars. Atoms heavier than iron must be built inside of supernovae from lighter elements or other energetic events, such as inside a collider.[Dr.Gabriel Oyibo] Discovered that hydrogen is the only building block of the entire universe
It isn't false to think of a "building block of everything" as being hydrogen, but none of this is generally thought of as empowering knowledge in the 21st century, nor a proof of what Dr. Gabriel Oyibo claims is a "theory of everything" which inexplicably includes a deity in the role of building the universe to a pattern. Everyone who cares to know about particle physics already knows this. The parts that do not apply on a daily basis to their work in physics are ignored. In some parts of this world, I'm sure a lot of this may seem to be miraculous. I'm not suggesting that it isn't so, nor even that we yet know everything there is to know about a hydrogen atom.
But in science we always wish to know a bit more. Protons and neutrons, for example, are composed of different color/flavor quarks, gluons, mesons, color charge, and the strong nuclear force. As far as I'm aware, we haven't hit bottom yet. And it's even possible that we have missed noticing something along the way. But for whatever reason(s), I'm not yet seeing it in what he wrote.
