Cosmology - Page 16

Cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, structure, and eventual fate of the universe. It encompasses the examination of celestial bodies, cosmological phenomena, and the laws of physics that govern the cosmos. Cosmology seeks to understand the large-scale properties of the universe as a whole, including the dynamics of galaxies, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and the concepts of time and space. It combines elements of astronomy, physics, and mathematics to address fundamental questions about the universe's beginnings, such as the Big Bang theory, and its ultimate future. Cosmologists analyze observational data from telescopes, satellites, and other instruments to develop theoretical models and simulations that explain the universe's behavior and characteristics.
