Modern cosmological science has theoretically not developed much since the perception of the Earth and Solar centered system.
Earth centered Solar System and Helio-centered Solar System
The History of the center of the Universe:
Excerpt:
“The center of the Universe is a concept that lacks a coherent definition in modern astronomy; according to standard cosmological theories on the shape of the universe, it has no center”.
Me: Everything in space are measured from the Earth as the center - just as the old Earth Centered method.
And:
”Historically, different people have suggested various locations as the center of the Universe. Many mythological cosmologies included an axis mundi, the central axis of a flat Earth that connects the Earth, heavens, and other realms together".
Me: This is partly nonsense. Of course, our ancestors had a picture of the Earth´s rotational axis, but their overall world perception had the Milky Way as the their largest local observable center and they observed the Milky Way itself to be a "flat disk", allegorically floating in the "Cosmic Sea" as an Island on the Earth.
For instants in Norse Mythology they also had the "Midgaard Serpent" to encircle Midgaard, the Earth and home for humans. This Serpent represents the observable Milky Way band all around and biting the tail, the Earth, thus indicating a knowledge of the spherical Earth.
The Size of the observable Universe
Excerpt:
“The comoving distance from Earth to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.26 gigaparsecs (46.5 billion light-years or 4.40×1026 m) in any direction. The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs[29] (93 billion light-years or 8.8×1026 m).[30] Assuming that space is roughly flat (in the sense of being a Euclidean space), this size corresponds to a comoving volume of about 1.22×104 Gpc3 (4.22×105 Gly3 or 3.57×1080 m3).[31]
The figures quoted above are distances now (in cosmological time), not distances at the time the light was emitted”.
---------------------
Me: This is highly inconsistent. All modern cosmic distances to objects are assumed by the measurement of the time-constant of light measured from and around the Earth, but here, this concept is totally left out of the measured assumptive numbers and distances which doesn´t compute with the estimated age of their Universe since the assumed Big Bang. Inconsistent speculations and nothing more, is it.
Compared to the modern highly scientific theoretical speculations, our ancestors had the Universe to be infinite and containing “inside”-cyclical processes of eternal formation, dissolution and reformation, i.e. thus having the Universe it self to have no beginning or end.
In fact, modern cosmological and astrophysical science still has the Earth as their intellectual and theoretical center. They even don´t count the Earth and the entire Solar System to be connected with the Milky Way conditions in their theories of formation.
