SUMMARY

Hubble's research indicates that the redshift observed throughout the universe is uniform, suggesting isotropic expansion. However, the discussion reveals that a unique center exists, defined as the equilibrium point among all matter. This center can be calculated using the formula M_1D_1 = M_2D_2, where D represents the total distance between masses. The process can be extended to include additional masses, ultimately leading to a singular center of the universe, although interpretations may vary.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational equilibrium and mass distribution
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts such as mass and distance
  • Knowledge of mathematical equations involving ratios and proportions
  • Basic comprehension of cosmological principles and redshift
NEXT STEPS
  • Research gravitational equilibrium calculations in astrophysics
  • Study the implications of redshift in cosmology
  • Explore the concept of mass distribution in expanding universes
  • Learn about alternative interpretations of cosmic center theories
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of cosmology interested in the dynamics of the universe and the implications of mass distribution on cosmic structure.

Hubble's reseach claims that the red shift in every point of the universe is same thus the universe expands same in every direction. As a logical consequence every point of the universe should be its center. So the universe should look like pumping balloon but...

It's not quite like that!
The universe has unique center after all.
It's the common equilibrium point between all the matter.Look:
If we have two masses M_1 and M_2 we can find their equi. point thanks to M_1D_1=M_2D_2 where D=D_1+D_2 is the total distance between them two. Now if we append the system with M_3 we sholud thread the equi. point of M_1 and M_2 as their common representer. This equi point has M_1+M_2 mass and the new common equi point can be found thanks to (M_1+M_2)D_{12}=M_3D_3. It's like finding the weigth center of massive object. We can append the whole process to all the matter if we have enough info for it and in the end we will end up with the unique center of the whole matter/universe.

The data we have could be interpreted to show us at the center of the universe, but it doesn't have to be. There are other (and generally considered more logical) interpretations.
 
deda,

Think about what your process would produce as a "center of the universe" for masses distributed in a balloon: the final point you get not only depends on where you started, but also on the order in which you added each lump of matter during the calculation.

Good try though.
