So there is only one movement of an infinite universe possible and that is to rotate about a perfect centre point.
If the universe is all there is, how would you know it was rotating? Everything in the universe remains static relative to everything else.
Paul, Bill S and Orac, or anyone who cares to respond: Can I assume that those interested in this topic know something of the science of, the laws and the maths of physics. Sure I would love to know the
how of many the sciences, but my interests and my
will lead me to focus on the meaning and art factors. However, I will mix religion and the sciences by META-tating that we will have moral, ethical and loving scientists. Just maybe there are a few here:
http://www.ordainedscientists.org/Because of an interest in maths, I studied basic physics in high school and first year university(1944-1947). But I have always had an interest in the story of physics, including the people and why they got involved--what I like to call the
pneumatological(spiritual) factor.

Bill, you ask
If the universe is all there is, how would you know it was rotating?
Is this a 'how' question? Or is it a 'why', spiritual or pneumatological one? Sounds, to me, like it is the latter.
