Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.

The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe's origin and evolution.

The cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the redshift of distant galaxies are all evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory.

The Higgs boson is the particle that is believed to have existed in the early universe and is responsible for the creation of matter and antimatter.

Dark energy is the force that is responsible for the expansion of the universe.

Quantum mechanics is the theory that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales.

General relativity is the theory that describes the behavior of matter and energy at large scales.

The Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric is the mathematical model that is used to describe the evolution of the universe.

The Schwarzschild metric is the mathematical model that is used to describe the behavior of black holes.

The Penrose-Hawking singularity theorem proves that black holes have a singularity at their center.
