The Universe can be defined as everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will exist.[19][20][21] According to our current understanding, the Universe consists of spacetime, forms of energy (including electromagnetic radiation and matter), and the physical laws that relate them. The Universe encompasses all of life, all of history, and some philosophers and scientists suggest that it even encompasses ideas such as mathematics and logic.[22][23][24]
