What is cosmology?

Cosmology is the scientific study of the origins, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe as a whole. It seeks to answer fundamental questions about the nature of the universe, including its size, shape, composition, and overall structure. Cosmologists use a combination of observations, theoretical models, and mathematical calculations to investigate the nature of the cosmos and the underlying physical laws that govern it. By studying phenomena such as the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, and the cosmic microwave background radiation, cosmology aims to deepen our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
