Therefore if you subscribe to 'expanding universe',
you subscribe to 'we are the center'.
Where is the center of the surface of an inflating balloon, on which all
points are receding from each other?
All points on the surface of that balloon are equally the center.
a surface that's identical in all directions.
This is not true of a balloon. There's the
little matter of the nozzle. Now, if you paint spots
on your sphere's surface and then expand the
sphere, all the spots *do not* distance themselves equally;
spots directly opposite each other, i.e. the two
axes, will go at the rate of growth of the diameter-
points closer than half circumference will separate
faster.
Oh, now you want to imagine the
balloon's surface to be flat as well?
OK, wait, in order to explain the greater
universe, which we assume to be real, you want to
equate it with something having no center, and also you want
it to have no edge- neither of which conditions has been seen
in anything real to my knowledge.
Plus, you say there's no edge, but you say it's expanding-
expanding with relation to what? Is the whole universe expanding?
And if not, then what?
Gobbledegook- good going physics 2009. Yikes.
