In cosmology, if one assumes the Copernican principle and observes that the universe appears isotropic from our vantage-point on Earth, then one can prove that the Universe is generally homogeneous ( at any given time ) and is also isotropic about any given point.

Bondi and Thomas Gold used the Copernican principle to argue for the perfect cosmological principle which maintains that the universe is also homogeneous in time, and is the basis for the steady-state cosmology.

In cosmology, cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) radiation ( also CMBR, CBR, MBR, and relic radiation ) is thermal radiation filling the observable universe almost uniformly.

This tradition of creator God as nous ( the manifestation of consciousness ), can be validated in the works of pre-Plotinus philosophers such as Numenius, as well as a connection between Hebrew and Platonic cosmology ( see also Philo ).

This becomes significant in theoretical considerations of astronomy and cosmology, and also in some practical problems such as global positioning and airplane navigation.

The simplest model for this that is in general agreement with observed phenomena is the Cold Dark Matter cosmology ; that is to say that clustering and merging is how galaxies gain in mass, and can also determine their shape and structure.

Animism was also a concept common to many pre-Christian European religions, and in adopting it, contemporary Pagans are attempting to " reenter the primeval worldview " and participate in a view of cosmology " that is not possible for most Westerners after childhood.

In astrophysics and physical cosmology, Olbers ' paradox, named after the German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers and also called the " dark night sky paradox ", is the argument that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe.

** In astronomy ( cosmology ) Ω refers to the density of the universe, also called the density parameter.

It is also found in formulae from other branches of science, such as cosmology, number theory, statistics, fractals, thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism.

Sacred Buddha amulet blessed in Wat Wangtakian Temple, Jorrakaepuek District, Kanjanaburee, Thailand Bayon Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple that also incorporates elements of Hindu cosmology includes “ a depiction of a cockfight ” within the walls of the temple.

It is also believed that the weak force has played a fundamental role in the nucleosynthesis of the elements, as studied in cosmology and the big bang.

Mount Meru (), also called Sumeru i. e. the " Excellent Meru " and Mahameru i. e. " Great Meru ", is a sacred mountain in Jain cosmology, Hindu as well as Buddhist cosmology and is considered to be the center of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes.

Much of the current work in cosmology includes understanding how galaxies form in the context of the Big Bang, understanding the physics of the Universe at earlier and earlier times, and reconciling observations with the basic theory.

The most well known version is that written by Gerald Gardner, and includes material paraphrased works by Aleister Crowley, primarily from Liber ALThe Book of the Law ( particularly from Ch 1, spoken by Nuit, the Star Goddess ), and from his Liber XV: the Gnostic Mass as well as Liber LXV ( Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, or the Book of the Heart Girt with the Serpent ), thus linking modern Wicca irrevocably to the cosmology and revelations of Thelema.

When not actively performing The Wizard busies himself checking the validity of his cosmology or " theory of everything " which includes elements found in such thinkers as the philosopher Whitehead, the sociologist Parsons, the physicist Prigogine, the systems analyst Jantsch and the biologist Sheldrake.

However, a number of observations including the discovery of cosmic acceleration in 1998 have revived the cosmological constant, and the current standard model of cosmology includes this term.

Thus, the current standard model of cosmology, the Lambda-CDM model, includes the cosmological constant, which is measured to be on the order of 10 < sup >− 52 </ sup > m < sup >− 2 </ sup >, in metric units.

Popol Vuh encompasses a range of subjects that includes creation, ancestry, history, and cosmology.

The cosmology of the Almagest includes five main points, each of which is the subject of a chapter in Book I.

Like the steady state theory, plasma cosmology includes a Strong Cosmological Principle which assumes that the universe is isotropic in time as well as in space.

Sometimes astrophysicists distinguish between the visible universe, which includes only signals emitted since recombination — and the observable universe, which includes signals since the beginning of the cosmological expansion ( the Big Bang in traditional cosmology, the end of the inflationary epoch in modern cosmology ).

Within Blavatsky's complex cosmology, which includes seven " Root Races ", Lemuria was occupied by the " Third Root Race ", described as being about tall, sexually hermaphroditic, egg-laying, mentally undeveloped and spiritually more pure than the following " Root Races ".

Critique of flat earth cosmology and Voliva from the perspective of a fundamentalist Christian who embraces geocentrism and includes an eyewitness account of life in Zion towards the end of Voliva's leadership.

The common conception of physical objects includes that they have extension in the physical world, although there do exist theories of quantum physics and cosmology which may challenge this.

Though not believing in a creator God, Buddhists inherited the Indian cosmology of the time which includes various types of ' god ' realms such as the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, the Four Great Kings, and so on.

It includes several major Pahlavi texts about different Zoroastrian religious subjects such as cosmogony, cosmology, eschatology, creation of the world, ceremonies, rituals, Andarz, Pandnamak, Patit etc.

The documentary includes voice overs by Dobson himself promoting his unorthodox views on religion and cosmology.

This includes insights into cosmology and eschatology as well as lost knowledge of advanced technology and ecology that, when known, can be used to improve the human condition and create a future Utopia.

It includes a range of genres from the earliest astronomy and mythical cosmology contained in the Bible, mainly the Tanakh ( Hebrew Bible or " Old Testament "), to Jewish religious works like the Talmud and very technical works.

The project includes two space observatories, and several observational cosmology probes.
