Abstract

The centrality of man in the universe has a long history, stretching from ancient times to modern cosmology. Stepwise man’s homestead has been displaced to a typical, inconspicuous location in space. Today there is not the slightest evidence for the existence of distinguished places at all within an isotropic and homogeneous universe.
