Fully 70% of the matter density in the universe appears to be in the form of dark energy. Twenty-six percent is dark matter. Only 4% is ordinary matter. So less than 1 part in 20 is made out of matter we have observed experimentally or described in the standard model of particle physics. Of the other 96%, apart from the properties just mentioned, we know absolutely nothing.
And? Dark energy, etc, have nothing to do with the operations of our brains - with the exception of working a few humans brains really, really hard in trying to understand it - but otherwise, dark energy
et al has nothing to do with the point I was making.

The vast majority of matter on earth is baryons
(neutrons and protons), not electrons.

Yep, both in mass and in terms of the number of individual particles. For every electron their is an attendant proton. The exact number of neutrons per proton is not a consistent number, but with the exception of hydrogen, there are some (usually more than protons though).
Ergo, electrons are outnumbered here on earth.

How did baryons and electrons appear on earth from absolutely nothing?
Also has nothing to do with the topic I brought up. Also shows that if you start with a false assumption, you get a false question.
Energy and matter are essentially one that the same - E=mc^2.
There was a lot of energy in the big bang. You can make particles from that energy. The source of those baryons, electrons, etc, should be pretty obvious...
