Pro Tip 1/3Scientific Context
Used in discussions about space, galaxies, and the universe's origins; often found in science-related texts.
The cosmological principle suggests that the universe is isotropic and homogeneous at a large scale.
Pro Tip 2/3Academic Jargon
Found in scholarly articles or books, not used in everyday conversation.
Her dissertation explores cosmological phenomena beyond the observable universe.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Astrology
Don't confuse 'cosmological,' which is scientific, with 'astrological,' related to horoscopes and superstitions.
The seminar clarified cosmological concepts often mistaken for astrological predictions.

So, as the universe expands as it is doing right now, there will be more and more dark energy. Dark matter and baryonic matter, on the other hand, don't expand with the universe and become more diluted. Because of this property of the cosmological constant, the future universe will be more and more dominated by dark energy,

Adam Riess
American Scientist
Einstein wrestled with a problem back before we even knew the universe was expanding, and he was looking for a way to keep the universe from collapsing. And so he discovered, in his theory of gravity, something like this dark energy - he called it a cosmological constant - could play this role, pushing things away.

Italo Calvino
Italian Journalist
In 'Cosmicomics,' I came close to science fiction - I was inspired by cosmological subjects and the workings of the universe and invented a character who was a sort of witness to everything that was happening inside the solar system.

Lee Smolin
American Physicist
We know that the expansion of our universe is accelerating, which means a number called the cosmological constant must be positive.

Jim Peebles
Canadian Scientist
I am deeply impressed with the way dark matter has explained cosmological observations.
