As when talking to ZN there is an attempt to define the center. We all agree that we don't know how to do that so we can, if we choose, simply define criteria of our own liking and make a center. But that's not really what I'm getting at.

We do not know if there is a hard edge... we do not know if space is warped and one will return to the starting point if you travel far enough in any one direction. Currently most of what I read leans toward the latter... warped space.

My original point stands... in warped space and even with a 'hard edge' one can make a case for every point in the universe being the 'center'... and all those points would be right.. according to the law of physics and the theory of relativity as I understand it, (And I understand it as well as I understand women.. meaning not one iota).

Ok, so trying to differentiate, or force, contemplating this beyond defining a center based on mass, spatial distance, etc... Those criteria are arbitrary. Actually, to really answer my question, (which could, and most likely is, very wrong), you have to think beyond 3 dimensions. (Which - by arbitrarily setting mass or spatial distance as the sole criteria neglects.. that's a 3D concept).

Where was I going with this? laughing smiley Did I introduce the value of pecan pie in relation to quantum mechanics? I'm losing my train of thought. - JamesJM
