Cosmology: The

Study of the
Universe
Cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole. It explores the origins,
evolution, structure, and composition of the cosmos. From the Big Bang to the
vast expanses of space, cosmology seeks to unravel the mysteries of our
universe.

The Big Bang Theory

1 The Big Bang


The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe began from a
singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, about
13.8 billion years ago.

2 Expansion
The universe has been expanding ever since, with galaxies
moving apart from each other.

3 Cooling and Formation


As the universe expanded, it cooled and formed the first
atoms, stars, and galaxies.

3 Accelerating Expansion
Observations indicate that the expansion of the universe is
accelerating, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy.
