center of everything

[AntonioLao]

Physics is a study of centers. Some of the centers being studied are:
1. Center of mass
2. Center of charge
3. Center of gravity
4. Center of energy
5. Center of force
6. Center of density
7. Center of volume
8. Center of area
9. Center of nothing, which is the antithesis to the title
10. Etcetera

Archimedes used to say 'give a center (fulcrum) for where to stand and I will move and displace the entire universe.'

the following site shows some images when something is off-centered.

But still, although physics studies centres of things, it doesn't study the central. I think we MUST differentiate between centre of something and central of something. The centre is, as you said, studied by physics, actually, by all sciences. But the central, is a unique thing left to philosophy.

My question is: Does a point source exists? How about two points sources? What's your philosophy about two point sources?

It depends upon what you mean by "point source"?

Good observation Guille. I would add to this and say that life occupies a central role in existence. That is it's meaning, that is it's purpose, that is it's definition. Afterall, what greater vantage point for us to discovering the theory of everything, and what better standpoint to serve our role in doing so?

True. Life and existence are studied by science and philosophy, but each of them it's own things. An understanding life and existence is the aim of science and philosophy, thus, the TOE is the aim of science and philosophy.

I like using the term philosciensophia which means "love for knowledge and wisdom" and which is definatelly a description of science an philosophy. I use it to refer the co-operation of science and philosophy in the search for the ultimate truth; the theory of everything; the absolute knowledge and wisdom.

Antonio;
Just a little comment about your signature line:
Before you can enter the river of time a second time, you must first exit it.
BTW: there are no absolute centers and thus no absolute points. These phenomena only occur in the math, not in the reality.

[AntonioLao]

there are no absolute centers and thus no absolute points.

I am typing all these from the central nervous system of my brain where my mind is the center of my being and existence. Once I die, the center of mind moves toward the supermind joining it for all eternity.

The origin of something. I originated from my mother's womb. But there is no way I am going back in there although maybe partially in and out in another just for a visit and deposit. So, once everything originated from something all of these seem to run as quickly away from this point of origin. Even the entire universe, the stars and qalaxies are all running away from something. Are they running away from one and moving toward another origin? But origin of what?

Everyplace is an origin, everyplace is an aim, everyplace is a going by.

I have been planning to post a new thread about a new theory of time I have developed, whcih is very basic and general ,but is perfect to go and explain each thing to do with time. It has a lot to do with point sources, and different times. I'll post it one of these days.
