  2. Taylor diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram

    The sample Taylor diagram shown in Figure 1 [16] provides a summary of the relative skill with which several global climate models simulate the spatial pattern of annual mean precipitation. Eight models, each represented by a different letter on the diagram, are compared, and the distance between each model and the point labeled “observed ...

  3. Cosmogony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogony

    The Big Bang theory, which explains the Evolution of the Universe from a hot and dense state, is widely accepted by physicists.. In astronomy, cosmogony is the study of the origin of particular astrophysical objects or systems, and is most commonly used in reference to the origin of the universe, the Solar System, or the Earth–Moon system.

  4. Chronology of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_universe

    The chronology of the universe describes the history and future of the universe according to Big Bang cosmology. Research published in 2015 estimates the earliest stages of the universe's existence as taking place 13.8 billion years ago, with an uncertainty of around 21 million years at the 68% confidence level.

  5. Cosmological principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_principle

    In modern physical cosmology, the cosmological principle is the notion that the spatial distribution of matter in the universe is uniformly isotropic and homogeneous when viewed on a large enough scale, since the forces are expected to act equally throughout the universe on a large scale, and should, therefore, produce no observable inequalities in the large-scale structuring over the course ...

  6. Big Bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce

    The Big Bounce hypothesis is a cosmological model for the origin of the known universe.It was originally suggested as a phase of the cyclic model or oscillatory universe interpretation of the Big Bang, where the first cosmological event was the result of the collapse of a previous universe.

  7. Baryogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryogenesis

    In physical cosmology, baryogenesis (also known as baryosynthesis [1] [2]) is the physical process that is hypothesized to have taken place during the early universe to produce baryonic asymmetry, the observation that only matter and not antimatter (antibaryons) is detected in universe other than in cosmic ray collisions.

  8. Hartle–Hawking state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartle–Hawking_state

    According to the Hartle–Hawking proposal, the universe has no origin as we would understand it: before the Big Bang, which happened about 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was a singularity in both space and time. Hartle and Hawking suggest that if we could travel backwards in time towards the beginning of the universe, we would note that ...

  9. Quantum cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_cosmology

    Quantum cosmology [1] [2] is the attempt in theoretical physics to develop a quantum theory of the universe. This approach attempts to answer open questions of classical physical cosmology , particularly those related to the first phases of the universe.
