| [[Image:Stentor_reading.jpg|thumb|150px|1901 photograph of a stentor (announcer) at the Budapest ''Telefon Hirmondó''.]]'''[[Telephone newspaper]]''' is a general term for the [[telephone]]-based news and entertainment services which were introduced beginning in the 1890s, and primarily located in large European cities. These systems were the first example of [[electronic]] [[broadcasting]], and offered a wide variety of programming, however, only a relative few were ever established. Although these systems predated the invention of [[radio]], they were supplanted by radio broadcasting stations beginning in the 1920s, primarily because radio signals were able to cover much wider areas with higher quality audio.

| '''[[Cosmology]]''' is a branch of [[astronomy]] and of [[metaphysics]] committed to the study of the universe as a whole, of the contents, structure, and evolution of the universe from the beginning of time to the future.
| |
|
| |
|
| As a branch of two very old endeavours of humanity, the study of the sky and the origins of the world, it embraces numerous related inquiries concerned with the world we live in and, to the extent it could be imagined and observed, the universe. As a branch of metaphysics it attained some prominence when [[Christian von Wolffe]] published ''Discursus Praeliminaris de Philosophia in Genere'' (1728). Von Wolff placed cosmology in his classification scheme of the main areas of philosophy, distinguishing cosmology from [[ontology]], [[theology]] and [[psychology]], essentially making it a distinctive field of philosophy unto itself. As a philosphy, its nature has been disputed over time since von Wolff but it can be said that generally, it is thought to encompass humanity's experience in, and the nature of, the physical world. As a science, it encompasses the work of observational astronomy and theoretical physics as scholars in both fields attempt to describe and explain the physical universe. Cosmology, as a science, attempts to construct models of the physical universe from observational data which are then tested. Cosmology, as metaphysics, involves a priori investigations of a rational cosmology and the conceptual and categorical analyses of the speculative philosopher.
