Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties and dynamics of the universe as a whole. It encompasses the examination of the origin, evolution, structure, and eventual fate of the universe, including its fundamental components such as galaxies, stars, and cosmic background radiation. Cosmology integrates aspects of astronomy with physics and relies heavily on theories of the Big Bang, dark matter, and dark energy to explain the observable phenomena in the universe. The field explores questions about the nature of space and time, the formation of cosmic structures, and the laws governing the universe. Cosmologists utilize observational data, mathematical models, and theoretical frameworks to analyze and interpret the universe’s properties and its vast cosmic scale.
