To prepare yourself for this career, consider taking undergraduate courses in mathematics, science, philosophy and astronomy.
Majoring in astronomy may help prepare you for a career as a cosmologist, as it provides you with an introduction to many concepts and theories that are important in cosmology..
The Cosmological Principle
It states: On the largest cosmic scales, the Universe is both homogeneous and isotropic.
Homogeneity means that there is no preferred location in the Universe.
That is, no matter where you are in the Universe, if you look at the Universe, it will look the same..
Cosmology can be a difficult discipline to get a handle on, as it is a field of study within physics that touches on many other areas
(Although, in truth, these days pretty much all fields of study within physics touch on many other areas
) What is cosmology? What do the people studying it (called cosmologists) actually do?
