   What blows my mind is the idea that space is supposed to be   
   expanding IN ALL DIRECTIONS all at once.   
      
   Which, in a way, would make you the center of the universe.   
      
   Right?   
      
   If space is expanding no matter which direction you look,   
   you are the center... in a philosophical sense.   
      
   THAT'S mind blowing!   
      
   Plus motion is important, not distance or time or anything.   
      
   If I buzz around at near the speed of light, time slows for   
   me. Not you. Yet you are always just as far away from me as   
   I am from you. So it's the very motion itself that is the   
   deciding factor. The speed in which our positions in relation   
   to each other do not matter, it's which one of us is in   
   motion, or the most motion...
