I suspect you would rather remain with relativistic wordplays than
actually absorb what Newton wrote even when graphics are before you.

Like you, there are many things I don't know, but I am sufficiently
familiar with Newton's work, in the fields of political assassination as
well as alchemy and 'fysiks', to know that your interpretation, along
with your answer to a simple question, is entirely in error.
Have you the stature to consider that you may just possibly be wrong?

"As regards space (and time) the universe is infinite. There are stars
everywhere, so that the density of matter, although very variable in
detail, is nevertheless on the average everywhere the same. In other
words: However far we might travel through space, we should find
everywhere an attenuated swarm of fixed stars of approximately the
same kind and density. 1
This view is not in harmony with the theory of Newton. The latter
theory rather requires that the universe should have a kind of centre
in which the density of the stars is a maximum, and that as we proceed
outwards from this centre the group-density of the stars should
diminish, until finally, at great distances, it is succeeded by an
infinite region of emptiness. The stellar universe ought to be a
finite island in the infinite ocean of space."

Cut through all the relativistic garbage and at the bottom of it are
those two paragraphs.

Most people who have a passing interest in the structure of the
Universe would find Albert's 1920 comments to be entirely laughable
yet it is still the height of fashion.The poor guy had an
excuse,galaxies other than our own and stellar rotation around the
galactic axis was not discovered until 1923,Albert's universe not only
does not make a provision for galactic structures but more or less
uses Newton to argue against it.
