Why do people think red shift is caused by big bang?

Gravity cancels at the center in the sense that you'd be weightless there (and only there).
I understand. So gravity really isn't "cancelled out" it would just feel that way from that perspective since you would be pulled by gravity in all directions at the same time.

Drakkith, I am guessing this is what you were so patiently trying to explain to me lol?

No, I was apparently mistaken. I thought that upon entering a solid uniform sphere, you cease to accelerate further.

Interesting, but if you were 'moved' from the center and even though you would be further from the opposite side (with respect to the one you are headed to) wouldn't there be more mass to compensate for the distance meaning possibly still no gravitational effects?

Ah okay,
