Cosmology

Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties and structure of the universe as a whole. It examines the origins, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe, encompassing various phenomena including the Big Bang, cosmic inflation, the formation of galaxies, and the behavior of dark matter and dark energy. Cosmologists use a combination of observations, theoretical models, and mathematical frameworks to understand the universe's composition, dynamics, and the fundamental forces that govern it. The field addresses fundamental questions regarding the nature of the universe, its spatial and temporal dimensions, and the laws of physics that apply on cosmic scales.
