Cosmology and Time
Cosmology is the study of the universe's origin, structure, and evolution. In philosophical terms, it raises questions about time: Is it a linear progression from past to future, or is it more cyclical? Does time exist independently of events, or is it merely a way to measure change? Philosophers debate whether time is real or an illusion, and how our perception of time affects our understanding of existence. Ultimately, cosmology and the philosophy of time explore how the universe operates and our place within it concerning the dimensions of space and time.
