Description

Cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution and future of the universe, along with the fundamental laws and principles that govern these phenomena. It draws on principles from physics and astrophysics, using mathematical formulations, scientific observation and experimentation to deepen our understanding. The universe is believed to have originated from the Big Bang, followed by a period of cosmic inflation. Modern cosmology developed significantly with the formulation of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Advances in observational techniques, such as the study of cosmic microwave background radiation, galaxy redshift surveys, gravitational lensing and supernova observations, have further expanded our knowledge of the cosmos. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of cosmology. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in this field. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of cosmology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
