    Thanks for the correction.
    I was suggesting that the Earth was the central point of observation for the "observable universe", thus the term geocentric would be more appropriate...

    "Travels at c" RELATIVE TO WHAT? I understand that c is a special case and does not usually require a frame of reference. The universe has mass, so the answer would simply be "no". What the heck is a "pilot wave"? A carrier wave for an awful lot of bound energy that is our universe makes no conceptual sense at all. Are you suggesting some wavelike process is happening on that scale?

    Besides, have you not noticed, the universe is still expanding in EVERY direction, as if from an explosion?

    I was not proffering any "correction", Quantum Quack.

    I was merely seeking clarification.

    I stand corrected, thanks! (chuckle)
    I think the problem I had was mixing contexts (psychology and physics)
