 COSMOS: cosmology and physics
Cosmos deals with various aspects of religion in conversation with physics and cosmology.  The word cosmos derives from the Greek kosmos meaning “orderly arrangement”, with a secondary use meaning “ornament, decoration, dress.”  Pythagoras is thought to be the first to apply the word to “the universe.”
