Is the center of the universe stationary?

According to all current observations, there is no center to the universe. For a center point to exist, that point would have to somehow be special with respect to the universe as a whole. The center of rotation is the one spot on a rotating object that is stationary.

Is there anything in the universe that is stationary?

No. Nothing is actually stationary and everything is in motion. You can appear stationary but that is an optical illusion.

Is there a center of the universe Why or why not?

The universe, in fact, has no center. Ever since the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, the universe has been expanding. And so, without any point of origin, the universe has no center. One way to think about this is to imagine a two-dimensional ant that lives on the surface of a perfectly spherical balloon.

What is the central stationary object in the universe?

In the 4th century BC Greece, philosophers developed the geocentric model, based on astronomical observation; this model proposed that the center of the Universe lies at the center of a spherical, stationary Earth, around which the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars rotate.

How can the universe not have a center?

There no centre of the universe because there is no edge of the universe. In a finite universe, space is curved so that if you could travel billions of light years in a straight line you would eventually finish back where you started. It is also possible that our universe is infinite.

Is it possible to be completely still in space?

There is no ‘still’ that is not relative to some other object. So yes, you can be still with respect to one object, but you’ll be moving with respect to every other object.

Is it possible to not be moving in space?

Yes, it is possible to fire the engine and lift off earth into space, and then fire in the opposite direction to earths movement until you are still, relative to the sun.

How can there be no center of the universe?

Can you stop moving in space?

As the universe expands, space expands. It’s not a rigid system. It is not possible to stop moving in space.
