Leicester - my home town, and centre of the universe!

Which universe is that ?

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

What's the matter? Can't you spell "parallel"?(!)...

I wondered if that line would get picked up on.
Four points:-
1. No cosmologist has ever disputed my claim, ergo it must be true.
2. If other universes exist in parallel, surely we should use the word 'multiverse'.
3. Since sound can't travel through a vacuum, why do we use the phrase 'big bang'?
4. Why wasn't any of Sorabji's music ever sent into space on Voyagers 1 or 2?
Surely such advanced music would be perfect for advanced alien civilisations.

Btw, Sibley has now posted a duplicate of a scan I did a couple of years of
Holst The Perfect Fool Op39 (2H Lasker).

Given the size of the universe and therefore the difficulty of locating the exact centre, I am not surprised that Tim should make this somewhat imprecise claim. In fact, recent studies have shown that the centre of the universe is close to the Simpson Desert in Australia. This was first discovered by Harold Bell Lasseter, who named the spot Lasseter's Reef, for reasons which are not clear. It does appear that no-one else has been able to locate the same spot. It has been suggested that this is due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, although some people have their doubts about this.

They only had 160mb disks in those days.

Imagine the three-eyed menoids of planet Zog being forced to listen to
a Sorabji piano sonata lasting in excess of 6 hours. That alone would be
enough to persuade them to destroy planet Earth with their anti-matter
missiles.

Sorabji is the only composer who's music was rejected for assimilation by the Borg.

Hmm,

I don't think I even attempted to spell "parallel"; - just as well, perhaps, since the word is often associated with bars, which serve alcohol; which can sometimes impair one's parralactic perspective (and cognitive functions) and can, indeed, (so, non-methodists tell me) lead to a condition known in Leicester (and other places on different planets) as "being paralytic". Don't know what they're talking about I'm sure.

Oh,
and for a succint resume of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle, this may enlighten ...
