kosmologisten

Kosmologisten is a Swedish term that can refer to cosmologists, i.e., scholars who study cosmology, the science of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe. In contemporary Swedish, more common terms for this profession are kosmologer or simply kosmologin, kosmologen in singular form, while kosmologisten appears only occasionally and is not part of standard, everyday usage.

Etymology and usage notes. The word combines kosmologi (cosmology) with a form that resembles agentive or collective noun endings, and in practice it is seen mainly in older or stylistically marked texts. Because it is not a standard modern form, its appearances are often historical, literary, or regional. When encountered, kosmologisten is typically understood as referring to people engaged in cosmological study, though the precise meaning can depend on the author and era. In most modern Swedish contexts, authors would choose kosmologer (plural) or kosmologen (singular definite) instead.

Scope of the field. Cosmologists investigate the universe from both theoretical and observational perspectives. Topics include the Big Bang and early universe, cosmic inflation, the cosmic microwave background, dark matter and dark energy, the large-scale structure of the cosmos, and the evolution of galaxies. They employ mathematics, physical theory, astronomical observations, and computer simulations to build models that explain how the universe began and how it has changed over time.
