The above process keeps the # of protons and the # of neutrons in the early Universe constant. ... Remember, a free neutron (one that is not bound in an atomic nucleus) will decay into a proton + electron (+ anti-neutrino) in about 900 seconds. AT t=0.01 seconds, none of the neutrons have decayed. ... During this epoch, the proton-to-neutron ratio is 1.0 . Epoch #2: . ... Now we have 62% protons and 38% neutrons where at 0.01 seconds we had 50% protons and 50% neutrons. ...
