Easy. Everyone has their own default reference frame that places them at the origin (0,0,0). Relatively speaking, it could be argued that everyone IS at the center of their own universe. 🙂

I had to smile at a few of these questions **Nowall** you think too much!

I wonder why anti-war protesters seem to wear camouflage clothing.

Why is cutting and pasting the music of other artists considered so original by rap fans and yet teen bands are considered to be clones?

Why do people say “With all due respect…” When they mean nothing of the kind ?
