I would think that even if the universe is expanding in all directions (a theory that I believe is o disputed by some astrophysicists) the origin point remains singular. But as our ever more powerful telescopes look outward, they have not yet reached a point where even compression can be observed. That would seem to suggest that the universe is infinitely larger than we can even imagine. I believe we have a better chance of learning more about how matter s formed than locating an origin point.
Congratulations on both the weight loss and the birthday. I've lost 25 pounds in the last six months -- not as impressive as your achievement -- but I did it without dieting. Just cut out the evening cocktails.
