I have a dumb question:
If the universe originated from a single point then why can't astromomers plot the course of a few major galaxies (which are expanding at an increasing rate away from their point of origin) backwards to see where the lines intersect in order to find the "center" of the universe.
If nothing else, I suppose it would be a good place to erect a Stuckeys or something that could sell hamburgers, pecan logs and velvet Elvis paintings to various interstellar life forms passing by ...
