Cosmology

Cosmology is the branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of the universe. It is a fundamental part of philosophy that seeks to understand the origin, structure, and dynamics of the cosmos. In Hebrew, Cosmology is translated as קוסמולוגיה (Kosmologia). In other languages, it is known as Kosmologie in German, Cosmología in Spanish, and 宇宙論 (Uchūron) in Japanese. Cosmology encompasses both scientific and philosophical inquiries, ranging from the study of the Big Bang theory to the exploration of the ultimate fate of the universe. It intersects with various fields such as astrophysics, particle physics, and mathematics, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the fundamental aspects of existence.

Cosmology
Cosmology is a branch of physics and metaphysics dealing with the nature of the universe, the cosmos. The term cosmology was first used in English in 1656 in Thomas Blount's Glossographia, with the meaning of "a speaking of the world". In 1731, German philosopher Christian Wolff used the term cosmology in Latin (cosmologia) to denote a branch of metaphysics that deals with the general nature of the physical world. Religious or mythological cosmology is a body of beliefs based on mythological, religious, and esoteric literature and traditions of creation myths and eschatology. In the science of astronomy, cosmology is concerned with the study of the chronology of the universe.
