    Where is the Geographic center of infinity?

    Is that the dwelling place of God?

    Science, it seems, is only satisfied with first causes. 'Cosmic consciousness implies the recognition of a first cause, the one and only uncaused reality.'

    Suppose that everything we see subtends only a small portion of a sphere surrounding a Geographic center of infinity. Now imagine we are in a cluster of galaxies moving away from that 'center' at 200,000,000 MPH. Opposite to our projection will point at the 'center', the source, the first cause, the uncaused reality.

    Maybe, in the Dark Flow discovery, the 700 or so clusters represent only 4 degrees of arc. They would all be moving within degrees of the same direction. I suppose triangulating the 'center' would be difficult and inaccurate. We need something farther away, maybe 20 or 30 degrees of arc.

    Surely their must be a Geographic center of infinity.

    I think you have a paradox .... but not enough info ...

    How could you have an infinite space surrounded by a finite sphere ?

    By the definition of infinity, any point would serve as a center, would it not?

    Perspective is ever defined by the point from which the entire is observed?

    Problematic only in that the entire of infinity is not among the possibilities of measure.

    Just my thoughts......
    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    Hey greg,

    I was thinking about bands of gravitational activity surrounding, spherically, a 'center'. I suspect we are on the outer band and what is beyond isn't. It's the rest of infinity. We should just round it off and forget about it.

    Looking back toward the 'center' there are like bands closer to the 'First Cause'.

    Energy coming from the Geographic center of infinity is creating reality

    I wish I could draw it for you, but I am barely computer literate.

    Totality is 4D. Infinite 3D space would be the so called "surface" of a finite 4D hypervolume, just like a boundless 2D surface encloses a finite 3D sphere.

    In your opinion .. why is the 2D surface boundless and infinite ... ??

    I'd rather just call the 2D surface boundless, not really infinite, since one comes back to the same place after going round and round, but I would see our 3D space as truly infinite, although maybe not to a 4D guy.

    This is actually a loose description of inflation Theory .... I like

    I have problems with 4D ... even 3D if I'm honest ..... Time does not seem to me to be a true measurement ... more a progression of events.

    I guess I'm talking about seeing the universe from the perspective of the 'first cause'.
    From a place that is the origin and source of all energy projecting out in all directions
    to infinity.
