Is there a center of the universe? Can a point or an area be mapped that can be called the location of where the Big Bang occurred and where all cosmic objects are moving away from. I notice science news talking about finding objects farther and farther away from the universe but not the other way.

When the sun reaches its end all the hydorgen is converted into helium and when helium starts fusing again it converts into carbon and when 3 helium nuclei fuses it will result in oxygen. When all the helium gets converted into carbon and oxygen what happens to star after that. Will there be enough temperature to convert the carbon and oxygen? So what will be the fate of the star. Can i say that the star is completely dead after this?

Assuming you know "Dota" and the characther Axe.

INFO:
Axe got one passive skill: Counter Helix.

Whenever Axe gets attacked he will have a 10% chance to counter back with a powerful blow.

Axe will trigger counter at most every 0.6 seconds.

The AI of this computer game calculates the percentage probability as follows:

There will be spans given for each counter triggered.
Each span will have ten sections.
One of each section will have one bit that will trigger the counter. (10%)
Some spans will have more or less than one bit triggering counter by taking or giving from other spans. Essentially, assuming 100 spans has passed, 10 counters would have triggered.

Question:

If TEN enemies attack Axe at the same time.
Assume that EACH enemy attacking Axe has a 10% chance to trigger counter, would the chance of Axe countering be LESS, MORE, or EQUAL to Axe himself having a 10% chance of triggering counter whenever he is attacked?

Debunked again

We are told that light is both particle and wave.
Rubbish.
My theory is light is only a wave and not a particle.
It is as follows.
photons are nothing more than pieces of the same wave.
note I never say photons are particles only waves.
to create a wave of light all you do is shine a torch correct.
But what is happening here.
well we have a battery a light bulb , when we throw the switch electrons flow from negative to positive through the bulb filiment.
This energy is transformed into heat and radiation
The electromagnetic radiation light is only an oscillation of the fabric of the universe at a frequency we see, its a bit like holding a large coil spring between your hands, shake one side of the spring and a wave flows along the spring, however cut the spring and the wave stops. I believe that light requires the fabric of the universe to travel and that it does not produce its own wave in effect its only an Excitation of the fabric of the universe.

About a month ago i was outside at night when I happened to look up and see this strange thing. There were these four figures that just kept "circling" it was similar to the shape of a flower with 4 petals (when viewed from the top) and each object circled around a certain "petal". they also went at the same speed and always connected in the middle at the same time. It's been buging the heck out of me trying to figure it out PLEASE HELP!

p.s. no i was not drunk and I am not not imagining thing I made sure to look at it alot to make sure I wasn't goin crazy. + I live in central NJ

How come there are still chimps and monkeys? Wouldnt they have evolved with the rest of us humans if we are some superior race? And why aren't we still evolving?

And another thing I don't get...How did everything on earth evolve into the complex organisms from a single cell. I mean seriously...for example how do things as complex as the human body work so perfect...Im sorry but things like that didnt just happen. They were CREATED!!!! and I think Evolution in a bunch of crock...

I figured out that I need to run an average of 8.6 mph to be able to run that.

Here's my question though, if I run 9 mph how long do I need to run until I reach 2 miles?
