As Joe mentioned the entire universe is expanding. So I believe any individual anywhere in the universe that tried the experiment would find that he/she is at the intersection of all the lines.

The idea is that the entire universe is expanding. There is no center as you describe.

Greetings,
I am not an astronomer, but have scientific background (chemistry) look at http://knowledge.electrochem.org/estir/editor.htm if you want to know more about me.
I have a question which may sound bizarre, I already apologize.
As far as I understand, the universe is expanding and the galaxies move away from each other.
Take two galaxies that move as close as possibly 180 degrees opposite directions, and draw a straight line between them. Find as many such pairs as you can, and see if the connecting lines cross at a fixed point, or at least close to each other. I think it would work better if the galaxies were about the same age.
If there is such a point that must have some significance, but what?
Regards: Zoltan Nagy.

If he lived anywhere but here, that scope would have sold quickly. Either coast, or the midwest. But we just don't have that many people around here who are seriously interested in observational astronomy. Much smaller market for used scopes.
