Answer
Peebles was a major contributor to theories in primordial nucleosynthesis, which is the process by which the light elements (hydrogen, helium, and lithium) were formed in the early universe. He developed the standard model of nucleosynthesis, which describes how the elements were produced in the big bang. Peebles' work in this area has been essential to our understanding of the early universe.
