My Center Challenge

[AV1611VET]

If the earth is at the center of the universe, what laws of physics have been violated?

Be specific please; and please name the law(s).

Has it been claimed that the Earth being the center of the Universe would violate any laws of physics? I've never heard that argument made.

But, relatively speaking we are the center of our universe because we see the same distance in all directions we look. That doesn't necessarily mean we are at the center of The Universe though.

I really cannot think, off the top of my head, that any laws of physics would be violated from Earth being the centre of the universe.

Earth as center would counter various observations we've made that cohere with certain laws of physics.

Not a physicist, but I think we observe astronomical objects with a variety of redshifts explainable by our non-centered position. For us to be centered, given those observations, conservation of momentum or speed of light would have to be broken.

(This is a layperson venturing a little further than I should probably)

Not that I'm aware of.

But if it was, here's a thread for said laws to be listed.

I can't either.

Thanks for an honest reply.

Earth is the second layer of the three layer creation cake God created.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

"Carved image".... does that include 3D printed things, painted images, photographs?

For earth to be center, the universe would have to be symmetrical.

what of pride or of really of being God chosen. I don’t know of our position as the center, but we are the center of Gods focus. God hasn’t revealed it to us, how can we really measure an expanding universe moving at the speed of light away. Similarly many hold up Israel as the center of the earth. The flat map of the earth. We could be a hub for the universe to revolve like the sun is center of a lot of different variable distances. I don’t see any laws broken.

Of course it does.

Of course it does.

The earth is not the center of the universe, so the laws of physics have not been violated.

 

[RileyG]

I haven't taken a physics course since my junior year of high school (10+ years ago) so the subject of physics is a mystery to me.

You going to print out some idols

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

The earth is not the center of the universe, so the laws of physics have not been violated.

In a hypothetical situation, where Earth is found to be the centre of the known universe, what laws of physics would be violated?

ETA: Or rather, as I just realised and probably AV should have said, what laws would have to be changed?

I don't think so. Perhaps?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

I don't think so. Perhaps?

I did edit the post to get the question a bit better, but I honestly have to agree that I really can't think of any either.
