It’s not all that unlikely, actually. I”m not saying it is what I believe, but it’s not all that far fetched.

When I was in fifth grade (1965), I was riding my bike, contemplating life, the universe and everything and sudenly I stopped and asked: What if none of this is real, even the people, and only I am real? What if it is all just an insertion into my consciousness that exists on some other plane?

And decades later we have “The Matrix”. :-P

Fact is, there is so little actual matter making up the universe that it is made out of, essentially, nothing. We only perceive it to be something.

Seriously.

It is true to say everything in the universe is pointing towards the Earth. It's equally true to say I'm the center of the universe.

The universe started as a singularity, and it's expanding from EVERY point in it. So, everywhere in the universe is the center of the universe.

IF the UNIVERSE is INFINITE , then you can pick any point in it, and the entire 'known' universe is pointing at it.

This whackadoodle stuff does make my eyes roll. But there is an unsolved problem in cosmology called the “axis of evil” that needs to be explained.

Cosmic solipsism. Assuming this theory to be true frees up a heck of a lot of time for better activities.
