Universe(Phenomena)

Human Studies; 2018
The Universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. While the spatial size of the entire Universe is still unknown, it is possible to measure the observable universe.

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological description of the development of the Universe. Under this theory, space and time emerged together 13.799±0.021 billion years ago with a fixed amount of energy and matter that has become less dense as the Universe has expanded. After an initial expansion at around 10-32 seconds, and the separation of the four known fundamental forces, the Universe gradually cooled and continued to expand, allowing the first subatomic particles and simple atoms to form. Dark matter gradually gathered forming a foam-like structure of filaments and voids under the influence of gravity. Giant clouds of hydrogen and helium were gradually drawn to the places where dark matter was most dense, forming the first galaxies, stars, and everything else seen today.

In Divination Lore
In Divination, the universe was created by God after he created the Heavens and his Archangels, and before the War of Heaven. When the Universe began to grow more, God has to leave it intendent to deal with one of his Archangels rebelling against God Lucifer. This left the universe alone to fend for itself.

Though it was young, the Universe was far from helpless; creating and controlling things such as evolution, space, time, matter and dark matter, Fate, Destiny, and other marvelous things such as the elements(Hydrogen, Oxygen, etc). Due to this, the Universe became the first Phenomena.

Because of it being a Phenomena, which is basically a term to describe a non-living ecosystem, the Universe itself doesn't have any 'plans' or 'actions' that it takes. The Universe does what the Universe does for itself and for its creation; similar to God. Though, its rare, but some Ascendants have the power to manipulate properties of the Universe, listed above and just like Witches draw power from nature, witches can also draw power from the Universe itself, though, it is forbidden and nearly impossible in modern day witchcraft.
