Are we falling toward it or it toward us?


Yes.


If forces go to infinity when do forces become negligible?


When their effects are no longer detectable

So the effective range of a force is where it is where it is no longer
detectable?


I knew it wasn't infinity.


But will science accept this?

Not quite.

A force becomes *negligible* when *its effects* are no longer
detectable.

Just because a force is weakened (i.e. by distance) to the point its
effects cannot be detected, that does not mean that it is
ineffective.

It just means that *our ability to measure the effects* has room for
improvement.

I believe that if a force's effect has no consequences any longer that
it could be considered as if it weren't there Tad.

The coolest part is if you find where the orbit of the Galaxy is
centered around.. you actually find the center of the Universe.


You find the (or a) midst of matter in the universal brane-frame. The
middl of the univers was 14 billion years ago.

No, it's just that the universe is larger than you
thought it was.


Nope,
I think it is infinite.
Can't be larger than that.
sorry, you are wrong as usual but will never admit it.


Nothing is infinite.
