Undergrad The observable Universe and its shape

From whatever vantage point you are in at the time.

Yes, but 'frame of reference' is the usual term

I think you're improperly editing the posts you are quoting, make sure the

if I do this correctly the 'Lol, you did it again, look at your post.' will be missing.

You got it, you just needed to the first quote tab with my username and post to be at the beginning of my post, then my entire post after that and a quote tab on the end and my whole post would display.

You don't see a "quote" button or a "reply" button under everyone's posts? Are you using PC/mobile browser or a mobile app to view the forum?

Anyway, this is off topic, I'm just trying to help save the confusion of quoting everyone and everyone quoting you.

I see them, I first used the reply but was told to use the info/help to do it right. That said to use the quote button which I do. But then I was deleting all but the quote part I wanted and leaving the bracketed, back slash QUOTE at the end. So to be clear I should leave in the beginning bracketed content and the end bracketed content?

Yes, leave the first quote bracket with the username, post number and member ID number inside the bracket, then the quoted post with a quote bracket on the end.

Quote quotes, reply just replies

Now, back to topic

We do know that our observable universe is spherical and the centre of it is somewhere between your eyeballs.

From whatever vantage point you are in at the time.

To be as exact as I can be: The observable universe is a sphere centered between the average location of all your sensors looking outwards from your position in time looking backwards.

Everybody: the observable universe is not positively "spherical" in the sense of having positive curvature. The curvature of the observable universe is zero to within a percent, making it consistent with flatness. The universe *does* have spherical symmetry, on account of global isotropy.
