You both are and are not the center of the universe Bashny.Net

If the universe is infinite, its center - everywhere?



There is scientific evidence that you are the center of the universe. In truth, it concerns all of us. If the correct way to interpret key cosmological axiom, then the center of the universe - everywhere. Or anywhere else, a matter of opinion.



In 1920, Edwin Hubble discovered galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Then it became a sensation, but then opened and something even more amazing - all of these galaxies are receding from us, and the universe is expanding.

In 1933, Arthur Milne presented his view on the cosmological principle, saying that no matter where you are in space, the expansion of the universe will always look the same, and it is in some sense makes you the center of the universe.



To understand this, imagine that the universe - it is a balloon, planets and galaxies is not enclosed within a ball, rather, they lie on the surface.

Now imagine that you and a lot more other people, too, are standing on the surface of a balloon - you are all at different points. If the ball harder to cheat, people visually alienated from you, and you at the same time seems to stay in the same place - after all, you're nowhere from his seat did not move. At the same time another person will seem that you just moved away and he was left in place. Since the universe is something like that.

Whenever you observe the expanding universe, it will seem that it was she moves away from you. No matter who you are or where you are, will always be a feeling that it is you - the fixed center. So, it turns out, the center of the universe could be anywhere.

Remember the Big Bang? Could not it be considered a starting point and, accordingly, the center? No, you can not: Unlike the fireworks and bombs, which have a clear epicenter, at the epicenter of the Big Bang is not. Before he did not have neither space nor time.

The explosion was not somewhere in space - rather, it was the explosion of the space itself. The Centre can not be, if there was no place that started it all. The study of the cosmic microwave background radiation, supports this idea.

Thus, the center of the universe and everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
