My mathematics have long been forgotten, but let's say infinity has no center - or at least no measurable center - then what? The Bible seems to suggest that the universe has some boundary (which would, I think, include time)- even if that boundary is only the limit of knowledge. Goes back to the Genesis story, again.
When Archimedes said, "Give me a fulcrum and I'll move the world!" I guess I hear this as a Tower of Babel (Gen 11:4) kind of thing - but I also take it as a "Jesus is my Savior, I shall not be moved..." or "On Christ the solid rock I stand..." kind of thing. Yeats' lament, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;" and his fearful vision of "The Second Coming" are correct (at least) in placing the eternal and omnipresent Christ at the beginning, end and center of all things.
The problem I have (and also with Yeats' poem) is putting eternal and beginning and end in the same sentence.
Revelation 1:8?
Oh - I get the alpha and omega part but I don't see "center" or "eternal" in that verse in Revelation. Also I am not sure that Christ really meant "beginning" and "end" in the sense that we do by "Alpha and Omega." Doesn't the prologue to John indicate that Christ (the Word) was in existence before the beginning of what we see as "all there is"? By Alpha and Omega and "who is, who was, and who is to come" I sort of see this as saying " I am all there is and even more that you cannot imagine." Anyway, although this is fun it probably doesn't really mean much. Someday we will know.
Thought I'd just throw in an observation that may seem pretty random since it's in the middle of the deep conversation about theology, philosophy and mathmatics currently going on, but here goes...I just noticed that your pictures go along with the theme of your posting. X railroad sign and infinite concrete. Thought it was a cool paralell.
