universe questons
 
Where is the centre of the universe and is there anything special about it?

Emre Safak December 10th, 2006 12:43 AM

Is the answer to the next question 42??

Frank Granovski December 10th, 2006 12:54 AM

I basically want to know if scientists know where it is. I've been out of school for some time. :-)

The normal, serious answer, to this question is that there is no center of the universe.

Scientists have placed were our solar system is in the Milky Way galaxie.

I would like to know where the Milky Way is in the universe.

Frank Granovski December 10th, 2006 09:47 PM

So would I, but we're a long way off from Star Trek, I guess.

It's all relative...

I knew the answer to your question, but....
1-I forgot after a night of careless drinking.
2-I was kidnapped by the Daleks who promptly erased the knowledge from my feeble human mind

A worm hole is like a black hole because they both suck you in. :-)

A difficult question grasshopper...

Our solar system is "out in the boondocks" as it sits on one of the outward spirals of the Milky Way Galaxy. Years ago Carl Sagan mentioned that a wall of gas would consume our system in about 10,000 years. I certainly hope humanity can get off this rock in time. Thumbs up for the space program!

Frank Granovski December 15th, 2006 07:04 AM

The article, "Delusions of centrality...," pretty much sums it up: not much is known. Oh, well. I thought there was an definate answer out there---out there in someone's book or class room.

Thanks, Brian.

PS: 10,000 years doesn't seem that far away. :-(
