Help! I really want to know

Hi am new to this newsgroup and appologize if this question as been asked
before.
If I am standing in Denver Co. and looking due south. at 10.00pm at night in
August, what direction is the center of the universe relative to me?

The center of the universe is in any direction you can
point, including towards yourself.

The Big Bang had no center -- it occurred everywhere at
once.

(I'm going to assume you mean the centre of the Galaxy ... centre of the
Universe is an entirely different question and one I'm sure the Loons in the
group will have fun with ;-)

From Denver on 15th Aug at 10:00pm the centre of the GALAXY will be about
12deg west of due south and about 20deg above the horizon. If you can
recognize the Tea Pot asterism in Sagittarius, it is just (3deg) off the tip
of the spout.

If the Universe is growing millions and millions of miles in every direction
each hour it is impossible to say where the centre is.

This makes no sense (kinda like quantum physics in relation to classic
physics) but everything I have read suggests: a) everywhere is the centre,
b) no evidence exists to point to a "classic" centre.

People can point you to the centre of our galaxy.

I await to be corrected or flamed

" center of the universe " no such thing, now if you by chance ment the
Center of the Milkyway Galaxy, then you'd be facing the right way. It's a
bit above and beyound the end of the tea pot pour spout.

Ok well that answered my question.... I was assuming that the big bang had a
center and that was the point that all the other matter was flying out
from....well then here is another question

Is our galaxy moving in any particualar direction... or does the word direction
really have no meaning relative to the universe

The Universe is growing in every direction at the same time, like blowing
into a massive balloon which will never bust.

Come on I bet someone here will say that there is a limit how far the
Universe can grow before it goes bang for a second time.

Assuming the balloon expands evenly in all directions, it will have an
unmoving centre.

Is it not possible to trace the movement of the galaxies backwards by the
age of the universe?
