As far as modern science is concerned, the beginnings of the universe was captured by the Planck space probe in the compiled image below:
This picture is a color coded map of the minute temperature variations in the earliest light recorded (cosmic background electromagnetic radiation) of the Big Bang. The temperature scale is in micro Kelvin degrees and shown below the map.
The imbalance in temperatures of the light (radiation) reflects that portions of the nascent universe developed more rapidly than others:
1. The higher temperature radiation was more energetic than the cooler areas and thus, created matter particles at a faster rate. (An interesting fact many are not familiar with is that most matter was created by photonic collisions (light interactions) just prior to this period of universe development.)
2. As matter developed, it clumped into more complex arrangements - eventually into clouds of atoms (nebulae) that have an intrinsic angular momentum or spin caused by the cumulative action of the strong, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces over time. (One way of looking at forces is to say that they are the inducing agents that cause matter to ultimately spin about a center or axis. Their other main function in terms of this analysis will be discussed in the next lesson...)
3. The more evolved (hotter) regions ultimately became more massive, larger objects in the universe than the large structures formed in the less developed (cooler) regions. As a result of this imbalance of mass, these large structures (stars, galaxies, and galactic clusters) because of mutual gravitation and conservation of angular momentum began to rotate relative to each other and to the rest frame of the universe.

Over millennia through the phenomenon of evolving paths of rotational movements in the life cycles of countless stars and by means of the quantum waveform description, atoms and molecules have found a natural, optimized center or balance in the compounds and substances that compose our reality. (Chemical bonds and Van der Waals forces can be viewed as stabilizing or balancing influences on these pieces of elemental matter as they "mature.")
The DNA double helix (a "double" center seeking structure) is one notable outcome of this process:
In conclusion, our universe born of the imbalance of the initial cosmic radiation (light) has been seeking a figurative and physical center or balance (equilibrium) which ultimately leads to us (humanity) presently through the workings of DNA and the related biology of cells...
