The New Paradigm in Cosmology – The Book

How does the cosmos factor into determining the state of human beings on this planet?

In order to understand this relationship, perhaps we should first consider the meanings of “cosmos” and “universe”. Kósmos in the original Greek sense of the word is the totality of all that exists. It is eternal, infinite in time, and if our reality is truly fixed— and nothing is transitory— the cosmos is also infinite in space.

Today, our “universe” refers to a different reality.

According to current scientific conceptions, the universe is not infinite in time. Nor is it infinite in space. It is a limited spacetime domain within the all-encompassing reality we call cosmos, supporting the theory that our universe had its origin at a given point and has been persisting in time and expanding in space ever since the big bang.

To answer the question of why information regarding such a universe is relevant to human concerns, the answer is this: If the universe arose within the womb of the cosmos and is not an eternally fixed domain but is subject to change, development, and “ evolution,” the way it changes could be an indication of laws and regularities that govern change and evolution within the universe.

If so, the evolution of the universe as a whole is relevant to the existence of things within it, including human existence. Humankind can then be viewed as an integrally linked part of a holistic universe— the same as every quantum and every galaxy in space and time.
