    Yes, some of the elemental particles in our body (electrons, quarks, …) were actually popped into existence along with the universe during the first fraction of time of the Big Bang, and remained still until today. So whatever or wherever these particles came from (assuming they do), they carried with them information that is older than the universe itself.

      at best, that means they’re as old as the universe, not older than it. also, didn’t most of those particles constantly annihilate each other?

      If I am not mistaken, accordingly to the Big Bang theory, all particules were created at the same time. Not before or after, or few of them but all of them at the same time.
      No new electrons/quarks/… were created since then.

      I don’t think you know what either elements or particles are…
