Astrophysical Cosmology

Astrophysical cosmology is the study of the universe's structure, origin, and evolution, integrating concepts from physics and astronomy. It explores phenomena like galaxies, dark matter, and cosmic microwave background radiation through the lens of particle physics. This field examines how fundamental particles and forces shaped the universe shortly after the Big Bang, influencing the development of cosmic structures and the overall dynamics of the universe. By studying these relationships, scientists aim to understand the universe's age, composition, and fate, bridging the gap between the smallest particles and the vast cosmos.
