No, we are on the surface. The surface is "now". The center is t=0 (actually, it is (0,0,0,0), the location of the Big Bang). The past is inside the sphere, where it is not accessible to us. Which means that in one second we will be almost one lunar distance outside this sphere? Since outside the sphere is where the future is. In one second the surface of the sphere will have moved outward by one second, placing everything in the Universe one second later. As you probably know from relativity time isn't an absolute quantity. If we regard time as just a coordinate (with light speed as the scale factor to the space coordinates) then this "surface of the sphere" will fill up the interior as well as the exterior of the sphe go anywhere anytime and the "surface of the sphere" will be there! Every point in spacetime is defined by a single coordinate, (x,y,z,t). Relativity doesn't change that. There is only one surface; the interior (that is, space in the past) isn't a surface. But anything you see us already in the past so you are always seeing the interior. The photons you see are in the present but the object from which they originated is in the past. |
