I am beginning to think this thread is not for us who pop in and out occasionally.

At least I get to contribute to the post count. ��

You're more than welcome to pop in and out as much as you want. We're just babbling about. I was off for four days and barely contributed.

Next things you won't believe is that we're hurtling through space and the world spins and we're not the center of the universe!

In a 3D coordinate system, the center of the space is where you define it. As I define the middle of the earth as center, everything around it is in motion, not earth itself. So we are indeed in the center of the universe!

At least that's my idea of it ;-)

Never read the books but knew the reference. Your interpretation makes sense. I need to read those books one day.

It all depends on your sense of humour but I did find almost all of his books incredibly funny.

Was worried for a second that no one would get the Terry Pratchet reference. Glad it didn't go unnoticed. My perception was that it wasn't standing on anything and was swimming through space.

It sort of like when I say a HHGTG reference. I often wonder how many people actually know it from the books or just from cultural reference.

I have read a few of them, some were really great.

I have a good sense of humor. I love a good spoof. I enjoyed HHGTG and others that had a sense of humor to them. I've always liked when I've read more serious books and they pop out a joke in it. Makes for a better reading experience.

I'm also a Month Python fan so that should tell you something.

The trouble is space isn't a 3D coordinate system. Its 4D because vastness adds in time and expansion. The centre of the universe cant actually be defined.

I had to bing that reference.

I'll have to see about reading them then. I've been reading a lot of non fiction lately. Maybe that might explain my mood some days. LOL! Maybe I need a good laugh.

You will like Terry Pratchets books then if you are a fan of Douglas Adams and Monty Python.

I don't believe in this 4D-thing. Even an expanding space is still a space which can be defined in 3D, also the expansion process itself can be defined in 3D. The 4D aspect is just entropy. So I stand with my decision to define earth as the center of the universe!

Yeah that's a concept I've always had difficulty with. The idea that everything in all directions is actually moving away from us and each other. Messes with my mind all the time. Stil, we sit on one of the tip of one of the spiral arms of the Milkyway galaxy which is going to collide with the Andromeda galaxy some 200 million years from now or something like that.

Douglas Adams and Rob Grant are some of my favourite authors!
