Does this imply that we happen to be (roughly) in the centre of the universe? If the distance to the CMBR / shell is 13.82 billion lyr or whatever it's currently measured as, and that result holds in all directions, the chances of us being in such a favoured position is, erm, lemme see ... according to my best estimate that's "astronomically unlikely". Of course the current model of the universe and the CMBR doesn't require any such coincidence, because it explains how any observer would see roughly the same things we do. (So one falsifiable prediction of the Ross model is that future measurements of the CMBR in different directions will almost certinaly give at least slightly different distances.) > I don’t know what is beyond the shell, but I could guess.

Galaxies are VERY faint sources, I believe an observer placed at a typical position in the universe would see hardly anything (if they had human senses). Of course this photon pressure would have to be fairly even to accelerate everything in a galaxy at the same rate. My guess is that it would just blow all the hydrogen clouds out into intergalactic space, so all galaxies would resemble comets with tails pointing away from the centre of the universe.

For one thing, Einstein came up with the equations he derived from his model of space-time curvature, and solving them gives not merely retrodictions of the perihelion of mercury etc, but predictions of unexpected consequences, several of which have been confirmed (some since Einstein's death). gravitational lenses gravitational waves black holes the expansion of the universe (famously fudged by the man himself, which fudging turned out to ALSO be a correct predictions, whoda thought it?! He must have been a genius...) (and possibly worm holes and white holes) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
