I assume that some concepts in contemporary cosmology can connote the Kantian sublime with new and more vivid features which rely on the notions of mathematical sublime and dynamic sublime. These features concern, on the mathematical level, the dimension of the infinitely small and, on the dynamic level, the notion of power. I explore the relationship between these modes of the sublime in the light of contemporary cosmology and argue that they appear to come together into a single experience, different from the experience of each of the two modes taken singularly. Inasmuch as certain cosmological concepts display characteristics of both the mathematical and the dynamic sublime, they may suggest a new view of the Kantian sublime.
