bored_teen Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 No, you would see what was in front of you more or less (light does wiggle a bit over large distances though) but if if the universe does turn out to be really curved all bets are off. i'm just not getting this. what i see in front of me is more or less the same thing as behind me? how can that be?

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Because what's in front of you is a bunch of randomly splattered galaxies, and what's behind you is even more randomly splattered galaxies. It's just more galaxies wherever you look. It gets boring after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
