  Hmm yes, we are all pondering this spherical orb right now.

  Serious question: Do we know how far removed from the exact center of the Big Bang we are? Is that something that be deduced?

    “the exact center of the Big Bang” is not a phrase that makes sense.

    I’m not sure if this answers the question, but it might help.

    Everything in space is moving, but it’s not expanding outward from a central point, like an explosion. Instead, the space between the things is getting bigger.

    The balloon analogy gets thrown around a lot, but I find it misleading- It’s not about the balloon getting bigger, expanding outward from the center of the sphere. It’s more about the surface of that balloon stretching.

    The rubber sheet analogy helps. Scatter a bunch of things on a infinite rubber sheet. Now stretch that in all directions - the things get further apart, but are not moving away from a central point.

      Does it mean space being created out of nothing between things? I’m not good at it but wouldn’t that violate conservation of energy?

  Proof that the universe is an egg. Armageddon will come when the Christian God’s sperm comes to fertilize us and we’ll be reborn into Heaven unless climate change aborts us as a foetus

  I mean, isn’t it obvious? Christianity has traditionally believed that Earth is the center of the Universe. Everything in the Universe is moving away from us, as if we are sitting at the very spot where “Let There Be Light” resulted in light being let. Physics has proven that we are at the literal single unique geometric center of the Universe. /s

  Some say that the universe only exists insofar as it is perceived. This is true, but we are not the observers. All of the world is a grand eye and that eye is spread across itself again and again. We are all but figments in the eye of the world, floaters thinking themselves eyes and seeing nothing. This is all to say that the elf on the shelf is REAL and this image PROVES IT!

  I just say it’s the universe version of the homunculus. I think that gets the idea across but only if they’re even slightly educated. 😅

  Even children know that the sun isn’t the center of the universe - it’s Earth. Duh!

  I’ve seen this image before. This time, however, I am half way through watching The Expanse. I had a much stronger reaction to it this time, for a couple reasons, lol.
