Relative to what? God? Ffs

Hey, meanwhile I'll be the internet space nerd. I looked it up: indeed, if the universe's curvature is positive, you end up where you started, but current measurements seem to indicate that it's actually flat

Relative to the extents of the universe? I know its expanding but it's believed to still have an outer limit, no?

If you put a bunch of **** in a balloon and inflate it all the objects inside have some xyz position relative to the centroid of the expanding object.

True, but as long as we haven't found any border of our universe we can't define a center so we don't know
funny related thing: the universe expands uniformly, in such a way that you can choose any point (for instance the earth) to be the center of the expansion.
For all physically relevant purposes it doesn't really matter what the earth's location with respect to the extents of the universe is

Thanks. I wasnt sure if there was some weird space physics that could actually help us figure out our orientation similar to how gravity and pressure can help us navigate to the surface in water.

**** that was quick, nice one

I'm pretty sure Earth and space have the same physics but I guess you already think that math does what it wants.

Yeah, and youre aware of it all huh? I'm not... I guess when you dont know much about math the dunning kruger kicks in hard.

He has nothing better to do.. ever..

I don't need a theoretical physics degree to assume that math is math.

Actually his question wasn't a silly one

Well I'm glad he chooses to do this, it's amusing

Hmm interesting theorem.

I dont need a degree to know that assumptions arent a reliable path to truth.. getting schooled by an autist must feel bad.

Good grief.

Ahh the other guy joins in... are you upset because my question made sense to other people and you saying FFS made you look dumb?

But it’s so predictable he’ll only accept an answer from someone he likes

and Bat is right

space physics?

and then the audacity to be snarky about it

Well that wasn't really an assumption. That math is math is like the definition of math.
Math is math
haters gonna hate
and it's my free will that you people be sweet to each other now

the space physics was just clumsy phrasing omg

Yes, space physics.. as in the effects of black holes and other crazy space **** that no one on this forum can comprehend and how it may inform us about our orientation. What should I call it to help you understand?

I told you you needed a relative point of reference straight off, Space Physics.

I do see new user name potential in this

I guess it wasnt obvious when I said the point of origin/centroid of the universe is my reference. Sorry for the confusion, ill use capslock next time.

Keep stretching- you’ll get there - just keep walking in the same direction forever minus 3

Turn left at the black hole 100 billion light years outside of the observable universe and you’ll actually still be going straight and look for the sign that says all things relative to here

I gotta say that your childish grudge against DWV is not very mindful.

So if I purposely look for answers from others and ignore his will that be textbook baiting and get me infractions? :X

Cause this **** is too hilarious not to do again.

I should report him since hes a tattler now.

WWWP! EXO! :pssst:

Do you think they’re at the “centroid” of the forum?

If they were, would you be able to find them?

What part of the atmosphere does space physics become planet physics?

When the acceleration of gravity changes.

At the centroid obviously

Centrists and their centroids.

Myth busting my ass

That was some seriously corny woo peddling snake oil bull****

Meditation doesn’t have quick and easy results / at least not for most people


and it doesn’t always reduce stress / sometimes it causes stress

Woo on cable news? That's a new development.

I'd like to think there are a number of Shaolin monks being held back offstage bout to whup some yuppie ass.

Meanwhile I'm a bit disappointed that Maria didn't outright remember that measurements seem to indicate a flat universe.

yeah, me too! In my defence, I'm not an astrologist :)
