Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties, structure, and evolution of the universe as a whole. It seeks to understand the origins, dynamics, and eventual fate of the universe, encompassing various aspects such as the Big Bang theory, cosmic inflation, dark matter, dark energy, and the overall geometry of space-time. Cosmologists use observational data from telescopes and experiments, alongside mathematical models, to analyze and theorize about the universe’s formation and its fundamental components. The field also explores the nature of celestial bodies, the distribution of galaxies, and the laws governing cosmic phenomena. Cosmology sits at the intersection of astronomy and physics, providing insights into fundamental questions regarding the universe’s size, age, and the principles that govern its behavior.
