Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, structure, and eventual fate of the universe. It encompasses various aspects of astronomy, physics, and metaphysics to understand the nature of the cosmos as a whole. Cosmologists investigate the universe’s beginnings, commonly addressing theories such as the Big Bang, its overall large-scale structure, the distribution of galaxies, cosmic microwave background radiation, and the fundamental forces that govern cosmic phenomena. The field also explores concepts like dark matter, dark energy, and the potential shape and size of the universe. Cosmology aims to provide a comprehensive framework that explains not only the physical characteristics of the universe but also its development over time and the laws that dictate its behavior.
