XRe Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it has no edge, by definition it can't have any center, either, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. – Douglas Adams It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination. - Douglas Adams Edited February 3, 2012 by BritinUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 the restaurant at the end of the universe was at the end in time not the end as in the edge of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKAVELI Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 No matter where you are in the universe, you observe everything moving away from you as the universe expands. Every observer has the illusion of being at the center.Mostly me! lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dame Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 How can we say there is no edge or center, we still don't know the actual shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkin Chunker Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The idea of shape depends upon something being observed from an identifiable and repeatable reference point. The universe has no edge and no center -- essentially no shape -- because it has no identfiable or repeatable reference point. With no commonly accessible reference point, each observer is dependent upon their own location as a reference point which is identifiable to them, but not repeatable. From each unique reference point, each observer represents the beginning of their universe, and is therefore the edge of their universe. Inasmuch as each observer can measure the universe as being an equal distance in any direction from his own reference point, he is in the center of the universe, as closely as he can establish. Therefore, each person is his own edge, and his own center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 How can we say there is no edge or center, we still don't know the actual shape. Its shaped like a donut, I know this for a fact; It was on the Simpsons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
