That's dope as fuck
I wonder how those particles knew how to "This is how particles interact with each other, period." They certainly wouldn't have gone like "POOF! NOW I KNOW HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHER PARTICLES"
I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the temperature of the Universe dropping to a level that allowed particles to form. You see, the hotter the environment, the less-organized matter inside that environment tends to be, because heat loosens valence-bonds by exciting matter.
Above a certain point, matter cannot "condense" out of energy, simply because there is too much heat energy present.
The particles don't "know" anything. You hopefully know that already, so forgive me for belaboring the obvious.
A little education goes a long ways, y'know?
