totality of matter and energy in existence. The study of the origin of the universe, or cosmos, is known as cosmogony, and that of its structure and evolution, cosmology.

 


Universe
The universe consists of all matter, light, and other forms of radiation and energy that have been discovered by man. The universe also consists of everything that man believes to be present in space / time as a result of his theories.

Universe
The age of the universe can be estimated using several techniques. 1. Radioactive dating yields an age of the solar system of about 4.6 billion years. This is a measure of the time since solidification. 2.

The universe is expanding at great speeds, but eventually, it may slow down due to the gravitational pull from stars.

The Universe
The galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. Many galaxies are part of larger gravitationally bound systems; these galaxy clusters can contain hundreds of galaxies.

The Universe of Galaxies
Galaxies are in one sense the visible atoms of the cosmic fabric, tracing huge structures both in time and space.

A universe is called homogeneous if it would look the same to all observers, no matter where they were located. The real universe is not precisely homogeneous, but it appears to be homogeneous on large scales.

The Universe sends us a tremendous amount of information in the form of electromagnetic radiation (or light). Much of this information is in the infrared, which we cannot see with our eyes or with visible light telescopes.

Open Universe: A model of the universe which expands forever and is infinite in space and time, although it begins with a Big Bang. The total mass density of the universe is too small to cause recollapse.

As the universe expanded, the residual radiation from the big bang would continue to cool, until now it should be a temperature of about 3 K (about -270° C/-454° F).

EXPANDING UNIVERSE
The expanding universe is a model of the universe in which galaxies are receding from one another at a speed proportional to their separation - it is based on the observed Doppler redshift of distant galaxies.
