Think of it this way!
my argument is that if the math says that all things came from a single point then that point is the point of absolute rest for the universe in question.
Try thinking of it in a different way.
At the point of the big bang (time = 0) all of space existed in an infinitely small point which then began to expand.
To say that there must still be a point which can be determined to be the center is a meaningless concept. The fact is that every point in the universe is the center since it is the point itself that expanded and not the stuff that we see today.
I am sitting at the center right now.
So are you (unless you are standing up that is)
So is everybody else who is reading this thread (and all the ones who aren't too)

Re: This is pointless...
was the early universe (sigularity) without charge?
am I just espousing bullshit?
i don't know.
I don't know either.
Sometimes when I think about it (which as it happens is a lot more often than is healthy for me) I come up with the weirdest notions.
Things like this.
Maybe there literally was nothing at the start.
People often say that it is ridiculous to say that something came out of nothing.
Well what if there is still nothing?
That isn't as daft as it might sound on the face of it. I'm not suggesting that nothing we see and feel is real. Just that the sum total of mass + anti-mass + matter + anti-matter is equal to zero.
If the two types of matter exploded into alternate realities that parallel each other to this day then it would be quite accurate to say that there is still a grand total of nothing.
No physical laws have been broken.
I have no idea how people who have studied cosmology feel about this. It's just my own little pet idea
