"Recombination" meaning in English

See Recombination in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: From recombination. The name is slightly inaccurate and is given for historical reasons: in fact the electrons and atomic nuclei were combining for the first time. Etymology templates: {{m|en|recombination}} recombination Head templates: {{en-proper-noun}} Recombination
  1. (cosmology) The epoch of recombination of the Universe, where atomic matter formed from free particles, combining protons with electrons. One of the Ages of the Universe. The cosmic era when neutral hydrogen formed out of the cosmic soup of protons and electrons in plasma, that condensed out of the energy of the Big Bang. This era produces the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).
