<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>So the answer is: In space, any direction takes you right back where you started!<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />Just to qualify this statement - this is true when you talk about huge scales larger than 100s of millions of light years (Andromeda is about 2 million light years away). If you were to average the density of the universe on a 100 million light year scale, then one point would be the same as another. Thankfully, on scales smaller than this the universe is not uniform. There is a big difference between being in a void or being in a galaxy supercluster, between being in a galaxy and not being in a galaxy, between being near a star and being in interstellar space, and between being on a planet and floating around in interplanetary space. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
