So no matter what your wife tells you, you ARE at the centre of the universe
I have always wondered if we rely upon early physicists calculations too much. We certainly are seeing things which our physics and maths find awkward to fit into.
We were killing people for saying the sun was central in the solar system not too long ago in history! We believed the Earth is flat too. Who is to say the speed of light can't be beaten...if new theory explains more than the old equations, run with it!
