1. Cosmogony

   Cosmogony is any scientific theory concerning the coming into existence of either the cosmos, or the so-called "reality" of sentient beings. Developing a complete theoretical model has implications in both the philosophy of science and epistemology. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model of the early development of the universe. The most commonly held view is that the universe was once a gravitational singularity, which expanded extremely rapidly from its hot and dense state. While this expansion is well-modeled by the Big Bang theory, the origins of the singularity remains one of the unsolved problems in physics. Specialists in this field are called cosmogenists or cosmogonists.
