A physical model of gas discharges, which are one of the four physical processes leading to the formation of heavy elements, is proposed. The possibility of synthesis of heavy elements in laboratory conditions is shown. The results of the study suggest that in the early stages of the evolution of the Universe, the cause of the formation of heavy elements from the hydrogen-helium medium is gas discharges-lightning.
