Tim said: Hmm imagine that. Not 15 billion. Not 13 billion. But 14.7 billion light years in all directions. Gee, that puts us right in the middle. Hay that sounds really silly doesn't it Doc?

No, we aren't "right in the middle" of the universe. Relativity explains why it APPEARS we are in the center. I could try to explain Einstein's theory of special relativity to you, but I seriously doubt you would understand.

It seems that basic Earth Science, let alone advanced physics and Einsteinian cosmology, is far beyond your level of comprehension.

Tim said: So we are right in the center of this bubble that's 29.4 billion light years in diameter.

No, we are not in the center. Our relative position makes us APPEAR to be in the center. See above answer.

Tim said: So I was wrong!

You usually are. wink.gif
