cosmologists
Study cosmic origins
Cosmologists are scientists who study the origin, structure, and evolution of the universe.
The field draws on physics, astronomy, and mathematics to investigate questions about the Big Bang, dark matter, and the ultimate fate of existence.
Cosmologists now believe the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.
