Glossary term: Univers

Description: L'espace, le temps, la matière, l'énergie, les objets, les phénomènes et les lois qui régissent les mécanismes fondamentaux sous-jacents sont contenus dans l'Univers. L'Univers est souvent appelé cosmos, étant donné que tous les différents aspects de l'Univers sont réunis dans un système "ordonné", bien qu'il y ait de subtiles différences techniques entre les deux termes. Univers est dérivé du latin universus. Les scientifiques font souvent référence à l'Univers observable, pour souligner les limites de ce qui peut être observé et mesuré.
