There is no central point for space. What is the central point of a
*surface* of a sphere? The surface of the sphere has no central point,
even if the volume of the sphere has a central point. But the volume of
the sphere exists in a higher dimension than the surface area of the
sphere, so it's a different thing.

So ****ing what?
The universe is a volume not a bloody surface
If there was a Big Bang, as some idiots still think, it must have happened at
a point in that VOLUME.

NO! You are stuck with imagining a spacetime with nothing in it except
the Big Bang precursor. But before the Big Bang the spacetime itself was
undefined it was literally a void with no space or time.

Our equations of physics become unclear at the moment of the Big Bang
but work pretty well from some infinitessimal time after to the present
day and predict the observed elemental abundances, a violent early
universe and the cosmic microwave background as classic observables.

It was the huge density of observed active radio galaxies at great
distance that put the nail in the coffin of Steady State theory. We can
now see even deeper and get redshifts on many more distant galaxies.

So similarly, there is no central point for space in the Universe, but
there is a central point for the space-time of the Universe. Similar to
how the surface area of a sphere and the volume of a sphere are at
different dimensional levels, the space vs. the space-time of the
Universe are at different dimensional levels.

What a load of crap...

You don't understand what you are talking about and make no effort to
learn - you just keep repeating your wild inaccurate claims.
