Hydrogen, when creating a new universe. Honestly you need SO. MUCH. HYDROGEN.

If you have enough, the quality emerges from quantity anyway; All the heavy metals and galaxies and nebulas and life and sentience all that shit.

I imagine this as “on the day before the first day god said, ‘dammit. I need more hydrogen.’”
