The space between them doesn't exist, or at least is undefined. And there's no way to distinguish the circumference of a circle from that of a rectangle or square from within the circumference. -

Would it be like asking for the center of a three-dimensional mobius corpus?
The thing is there's always a center of these things when looked at from the outside, not from the inside though

If the universe is constantly expanding, then does it have an end?
IMO, which is always right, the universe is constantly expanding in four dimensions thus any give instant there could be a center of the universe. However, since it is most likely that the universe isn't changing at a constant rate in all dimensions that center would be constantly changing. Making it highly possible that this post makes sense.Comment
