\subsection{Background}
Cosmology is the branch of
Astrophysics astrophysics which studies the
universe Universe on the largest scales.
Cosmology is primarily concerned with understanding the
universe Universe as a dynamical
entity, the key questions being: what is the current state of the
universe? Universe?
What did it look like a long time ago?
What will it look like in the future?
While these are very difficult questions to answer, in recent decades there has been
incredible progress in observational cosmology that has allowed us great insight into
the dynamical evolution of the
universe.
For instance, Universe.
As an example, measurements of the cosmic microwave background by the WMAP and Planck
satellites have given us an extremely accurate picture of the state of the entire
observable
universe Universe just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, and show us the tiny
fluctuations in matter density in the early
universe Universe that have grown into the
galaxies and clusters we see today.
The discovery in the 1990s that the Universe's expansion is accelerating fundamentally
changed our understanding not just of how the Universe will evolve but also raised questions
