Expanding Ping!......................

It keeps moving. 🎯

My ex-wife thought she was the center of the universe.

It resides within the mind of each and every observer. That’s how I answer ny phone: “Center of the Universe. How may I help you?”

Did she have her own Gravity Well?.........................

If the universe has no center, which I believe is true, then there is no point from which one could establish absolutely whether events, albeit distant or close, occurred either simultaneously (in the present), or one before (in the past) or after the other (in the future). This obviously affects the flow of time, meaning that from some point in the universe, our past is their present, my father is alive, and my birth is in the future.

I’ve often wondered if “growing” would be a better term than “expanding.” I mean, you have to make room (space) for new galaxies to form, right?

[Red Badger]

Time is relative to your position.............

And I Mean Sit Around The House!

According to my bride of 40 years, the center of the universe is my bathroom.
(Well, I am a guy!)

Those galaxies also seem to be moving away from each other. So it’s more accurate to say that everything in the universe is getting farther away from everything else, all at once.

Then why have astronomers observed galaxies that have crashed into each other and merged?

That explanation comports with something I heard about “curved space” a long time ago: if you traveled as far as you could go in the universe, you’d be staring at the back of your own head (of course, that eliminates the time factor but provides some grasp of the concept).

Don’t know where the literal Center of the Universe is, but knowing where the Heart of the Earth is helps understand a parable given by the Creator of the Universe..

[Sacajaweau]

I think the word that might fit best is undulating....bulging here....then there....then there...

[SuperLuminal]

Yawn...
Anyone who looks can point to a center...
IAC, you cannot tag it...

If you have a good car mechanic, you are lucky.

There is nothing like it

My current mechanic will tell me things like: "this you have to fix now" "this other stuff can wait. "

I often point out that cars are like computers. They work great.....and then, they don't.

I just looooved working on cars in the old days. Timing, dwell, gappers, points, distributors. Once I got used to a car, I could make it purrrrrr.

One sure way to stop a car thief is to remove the distributor cap.
