I guess in theory, but again because of the limits on the universe it can never happen so it does the question even mean anything. |
I wasn't asking for the center. As in the balloon, there may not be a center on the surface, but there is a source, a cause of the expansion, the nozzle so to speak. Did the big bang not occur from a single point in space/time?
Your last comment confuses me. It was asserted there is no edge (I interpret that as limit) or center to the universe. Yet the limits of the universe make it impossible, are you meaning the limits on our travelling velocity? If so, I was hoping we could put that aside for a second.
I will put it another way. There is no edge, but there is a radius? How can both be true? What I really want to know is if I am able to travel more than the diameter of the universe, does the universe expand as I travel, since I am a part of the universe, or would I have no effect, and simply 'blip to the other side'?
