Does the baloon have a center? On Jan 16, 2015 12:08 PM, "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Steve, the mistake you're making is imagining the Big Bang as happening in a larger space. The Big Bang created the entire universe and it expanded very quickly. The entire universe was and is expanding.
Imagine dots all over the surface of a balloon, and inflate the balloon. All of the dots move away from each other as the balloon expands. The balloon surface is analagous to the fabric of three-dimenstional space.

If the universe originated in the 'Big Bang', that is, expanding more or less uniformly from a single point wouldn't that point be the center? Steve Peterson, Hurricane
