The systems are governed by magnetism, electricity, heat, and friction. Gravity is most likely coexisting with magnetism. The planets may be suspended in their positions due to magnetic fields. We might be pulled to the Earth's core just like a magnet. Or we might be pushed towards Earth from the magnetic field of another planet or solar system. Or maybe a combination of both. Light is a byproduct of heat. Heat sets things in motion, then friction creates a magnetic field that suspends matter in certain positions, and what we call gravity may be the invisible matter that everything is floating in which allows the friction to be created. To postulate how matter is attracted to matter is akin to pondering the four known fundamental interactions (forces). As we discover additional fundamental interactions, our understanding of the existing ones and the connectedness will become clearer.

Before all of the above, star engine exhaust particles drifted away into the surrounding space cooling down as they moved outward, melding together as they collided to form planets or asteroids. But what did the big stage look like before the first star was born? Is there even an epoch? Where did the explosive star materials come from? These types of questions require one to throw away their concept of time. Time is heat’s baby. So before heat was born, time did not exist. Who is Heat’s mama?
