Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties and evolution of the universe as a whole. It seeks to understand the origin, structure, dynamics, and ultimate fate of the cosmos, encompassing various phenomena such as the Big Bang, cosmic microwave background radiation, galaxy formation, and the distribution of matter and energy. Cosmologists use observational data and theoretical frameworks from physics and mathematics to explore these fundamental questions about the universe, including its shape, age, and composition. The field blends insights from astronomy, physics, and philosophy to create a comprehensive understanding of the universe and our place within it.
