单词	cosmology
释义	cosmologycos‧mol‧o‧gy /kɒzˈmɒlədʒi $ kɑːzˈmɑː-/ noun [uncountable] Word Origin WORD ORIGINcosmology Origin: 1600-1700 Modern Latin cosmologia, from Greek kosmos ( ➔ COSMOS) + Modern Latin -logia ‘-logy’ Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS An alternative cosmology is the Hartle / Hawking model, which does not assume a background space-time in which the universe arises. Copernicus suspected that there was an essential error in Ptolemaic cosmology. From this demotion, the modern age came to feel severed from cosmology as no other culture had ever felt before. In an attempt to get data from this natural laboratory, particle physics has become ever more entwined with cosmology. In the sixteenth century, opposition to the religious implications of Copernican cosmology came initially from the Reformation. It amounts to a cosmology as hermetic as Blake's. Like Galileo, he was committed to the Copernican system as a cosmology and not merely as a mathematical hypothesis. So this is Democritus' cosmology - a universe ruled largely by chance. word sets WORD SETS► Astronomy asteroid, nounastro-, prefixastronaut, nounastronomical, adjectiveastronomy, nounastrophysics, nounAU, aurora borealis, nounBig Bang, the, nounblack hole, nouncelestial, adjectivecomet, nounconstellation, nouncorona, nouncosmic, adjectivecosmic ray, nouncosmology, nouncosmonaut, noundead, adjectiveearth, nouneclipse, nouneclipse, verbecliptic, nounequinox, nounescape velocity, nounextraterrestrial, adjectivegalactic, adjectivegalaxy, noungeostationary orbit, nounHubble Space Telescope, the, infinity, nounintergalactic, adjectiveinterplanetary, adjectiveinterstellar, adjectiveJupiter, nounlaunch, verblaunch, nounlight year, nounLittle Bear, lunar, adjectivelunar month, nounmagnitude, nounMars, nounMercury, nounmeteor, nounmeteoric, adjectivemeteorite, nounMilky Way, the, month, nounmoon, nounmorning star, nounNASA, nounnebula, nounNeptune, nounnew moon, nounnova, nounobservatory, nounorbit, verborbit, nounorbiter, nounouter space, nounphase, nounplanet, nounplanetarium, nounplasma, nounPluto, nounquadrant, nounquarter, nounquasar, nounradio telescope, nounring, nounrocket, nounsatellite, nounSaturn, nounsea, nounshooting star, nounsolar, adjectivesolar system, nounspace, nounspace capsule, nounspacecraft, nounspace probe, nounspaceship, nounspace shuttle, nounspace station, nounstar, nounstargazer, nounsteady state theory, nounstellar, adjectivesun, nounsunspot, nounsupernova, nountelescope, nountelescopic, adjectiveterrestrial, adjectiveUranus, nounVenus, nounwane, verbwax, verbwhite dwarf, nounworld, nounzenith, noun the science of the origin and structure of the universe, especially as studied in astronomy
