Does the term center of mass of universe mean anything? Why why not?
No, for something to have a center of mass, it has to have a center and the universe does not.jha192001 said:Does the term center of mass of universe mean anything? Why why not?
What do you mean by centre? does every body has a geometrical centre what does geometrical centre even mean?phinds said:No, for something to have a center of mass, it has to have a center and the universe does not.

Not in standard cosmology. The standard cosmology assumes that the universe is spatially homogenous and isotropic. The homogeneity precludes having a center.jha192001 said:Does the term center of mass of universe mean anything? Why why not?
The COM (center of mass) of the Universe refers to the point at which all the matter in the Universe is evenly distributed, and there is no net gravitational force acting on it.
No, the COM of the Universe does not have a specific location as it is constantly changing due to the movement of galaxies and other celestial bodies.
The COM of the Universe is calculated by taking into account the mass and distance of all the visible matter in the Universe. This is a complex calculation that requires advanced mathematical and astronomical techniques.
The COM of the Universe is important as it helps us understand the structure and evolution of the Universe. By studying the movement and distribution of matter, scientists can gain insights into the formation and behavior of galaxies and other celestial objects.
Yes, the COM of the Universe can change over time as the distribution of matter in the Universe shifts. This can be caused by various factors such as the expansion of the Universe, the merging of galaxies, and the influence of dark matter.
