Cosmology is the study of the origin, size, and evolution of the
entire universe. Every culture has developed a cosmology, whether
it be based on religious, philosophical, or scientific principles.
In this book, the evolution of the scientific understanding of the
Universe in Western tradition is traced from the early Greek
philosophers to the most modern 21st century view. After a brief
introduction to the concept of the scientific method, the first
part of the book describes the way in which detailed observations
of the Universe, first with the naked eye and later with
increasingly complex modern instruments, ultimately led to the
development of the "Big Bang" theory. The second part of the book
traces the evolution of the Big Bang including the very recent
observation that the expansion of the Universe is itself
accelerating with time.
