If light moved at the same speed in all directions away from that point, and if we can pinpoint that location because a star in Andromeda was there 2,537,000 years ago, that point cannot be moving. And, if it is NOT moving, doesn't the straight line trace back to a "stationary point in space"? The Big Bang has a straight line that traces back to a "stationary point in space" -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
