Category: Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties and origins of the universe as a whole. It encompasses the examination of the universe’s structure, evolution, dynamics, and the fundamental principles governing its behavior. Cosmologists seek to understand the birth of the universe, often associated with the Big Bang theory, its expansion, and the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. This field blends aspects of astronomy, physics, and theoretical mathematics to explore key concepts such as the shape of the universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and the overall fate of the cosmos. Cosmology also investigates fundamental questions about the nature of time, space, and the fundamental forces of nature, contributing to our understanding of how the universe operates on both macroscopic and microscopic scales.
