Modern cosmology

Modern cosmology is the scientific study of the universe's origin, structure, evolution, and eventual fate. It combines observations—like galaxy surveys and cosmic background radiation—with theoretical physics to understand how the universe expanded from the Big Bang around 13.8 billion years ago. Cosmologists explore phenomena such as dark matter and dark energy, which influence cosmic expansion. Using advanced telescopes and models, they aim to unravel the universe's history and fundamental laws, providing insights into the nature of space, time, and the universe itself.
