Cosmogony
Cosmogony is any model concerning the origin of either the cosmos or universe.[1][2]
"Developing a complete theoretical model has implications in both the philosophy of science and epistemology."[3]
In astronomy, cosmogony refers to the study of the origin of particular astrophysical objects or systems, and is most commonly used in reference to the origin of the Universe, the Solar System, or the Earth–Moon system.[1][2]
