I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

But if I understand astronomers correctly, stars appear to be moving away from us all at the same speed, no matter which direction we look. And the farthest stars seem to be moving away from us the fastest. That would put us in the center of the universe. None of that makes sense to me.

Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: Thanks for all of the replies. I'll have more when I get time. The Southern Cross was what I had been thinking of, but that was so long ago that I had forgotten. So the Center of Galaxy is between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Which seems to be almost opposite Polaris - so Polaris must be almost viewing the outer rim of the Galaxy. More later. But lots more has been found out in the past couple decades than what places like wiki will state.

The exact center is unknown, because gobs of space dust block the view, which is what looks like "Milky Way" and gives the Galaxy it's name. I have seen photos of this. So, somebody knows which direction the Center of the Galaxy is, but we just cannot see it. Once more info is obtained, we should be able to ascertain which direction it is in. I don't currently know which direction this is in.

Quote:It takes about five minutes to read this article, and during that time, 18 million stars will disappear. They will simply travel out of sight, never to return, so we will never know what happens to them in the future. This is due to the expansion of the universe. It has been going on since the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, and for the past seven billion years, the expansion has accelerated. Every cubic cm of space is growing, and over long distances, this means that objects are moving away from each other faster than the speed of light. As a result, astronomers are losing contact with ever more distant galaxies.
Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: What that might be, I DONT KNOW. But considering we don't know what gravity REALLY is, or how repulsive forces work (how do you push on a string?) or even magnetism, can we really rule out some interaction we haven't figured out yet? It seems to me that when you have to write in so many corrections to your model, no matter how useful it's been in other situations, you really need to look at a new model. But bc scientists don't have an inkling of what that might be, they're still polishing the old one.
