1. Is there a center of our universe. If there was a big bang were is the origin point? and shouldnt we be able to find it by watching the galaxies move away from a central point?
2. Are we (Galaxy) circling something. Seems like everthing cirlces something else in space (orbits) so is our and other galaxies circling something else?
3. Are we one universe (buble of galaxies) among many others in a even vaster multiverse?
4. Why does everthing form a sphere in space or try to? Planets, suns etc..
5. Why do suns not explode into a sphere and instead explode from two sides in only two directions?
6. If a space ship could project a powerfull gravity hole in front of itself would it follow it and how fast would the continually projected gravity hole and ship move though space.
These are questions that always pop up in my mind when I ponder outer space =). I d truely like answers if anyone has any. And forgive me if any or all of them seem like stupid questions.
Thanks

My opinion is that the speed of light is the limit on speed everywhere in the universe. The experiment your news article writes about is very controversial and has been retracted from official publications if I'm correct. I think in that experiment the phase velocity is higher than the speed of light. That doesn't mean any particle goes after than the speed light. The pulse is send through interference. The particles have to be there already. No signal is transmitted faster than light.

Give an example of something that goes faster than c.
Also, how or why is it that a photon's speed is instantaneously c?(in a vaccume)
Also, if c is the speed limit how can photons be going at that speed if it theoretically takes infinite energy to reach it, or does that only apply to somthing with mass?
Then if thats so why mass? Can't be gravity because no mass is affected by gravity too.
So photons are pure energy because they have no mass? So when they get slowed down ie. less kenetic energy, does that energy get transformed into another type of energy energy or mass? Or doesn't light actually slow down when passing through a different medium, does it just zig zag around or something?
