There is no place for hate or obscenity in this forum.


On the contrary, we need that to spice things up.

Where's either the hate or obscenity ?


Never mind, I forgot you are too blind to talk to.

Default Universe - What We Know

Since the universe is obviously infinite, it inherently can't have any
center.

A center implies some overall shape with boundaries and limits which
the universe certainly lacks.

If you are going to believe in the infinite you may as well believe in God.

Same thing.

Default Universe - What We Know


A sample of a population says a lot. Find out how statistics are done.

I'm sure I know fae more about statistics than you.

We only know that local galaxies seem to be CURRENTLY seperating very
slowly.


Why would things change? An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

... unless acted on by a force.

Mutual gravities is is just such a force that might reverse the
seperations.

And just where is this "central point" ? Something that important
would surely be determine, and with the aid of computers, very
precisely.


It is too far away to see.

Yes in the immediate sense, but the point could nevertheless be
precisely resolved.

What, this would be the center of the universe ?
RIDICULOUS !


You have a center. With this kind of thinking you must be ridiculous.

Yes everything with boundaries has a center. But the universe can't
have any boundaries, hence no center.

Note, that due to the vast distances between stars, compared to star
size, even merging galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda, will
result in essentially no actual collisions.

The universe does have a boundary. But in a way it does not, the way

you are looking at things. I wish atheists and theists could have multiple

perspectives on things. If that happened the whole world would get along

with itself.

That's ridiculous. No relation between the two concepts.

The universe must be infinite, but no God is possible,
for very good reasons.

If there was a boundary, then one could theoretically go to said
boundary, and simply ask what's that 1 LY farther ?

It would also be part of the universe, hence no boundary possible.

Maybe so; my statistics professor could barely speak English so I dropped the

class.

No Big Bang. Just because the local galaxies are currently seperating,

Not I.


Big Bang is the most
ridiculous popular notion of all time !



Quit a stretch!
