    Cosmology is the study of the large-scale structure and history of the universe. In particular, it deals with subjects regarding its origin. It is studied by Astronomy, Philosophy, and Religion. See also cosmogony.

    The Big Bang
    The shape of the universe in big bang theory
    Cosmic Background Radiation
    Beyond the standard Big Bang model
    Quasi steady state theory
