Based on the big bang theory, stellar and planetary development requires gravity to accumulate cosmic gas, but particles move too fast to coalesce. At -272.15°C, hydrogen atoms move at 158 meters/second while helium atoms move at 79 meters/second. All you need is a velocity of 4.31498e-14 meters/second to escape the gravitational pull of an H2 molecule. There’s no doubt that cosmic clouds possess a lot of gravity, but the gravity is divided by the gas particles that make up the cloud (mass = gravity). Hence, the gravitational sum doesn’t coalesce anything because it can’t get the first two gas particles to cohere. It can only move the matter to a particular direction to form very thick fog. This increases the collision frequency or makes the pressure push outward until it equalizes, so the system will grow instead of compressing. Nuclear and electromagnetic forces would still produce atoms, and atoms would still bond to make molecules, but that's as far as it would get. Helium doesn't form any molecules and hydrogen would predominantly form H2 which are filled shell molecules, so they can't bond to more hydrogen.
