Do we live in the center of the world?
Abstract
We investigate the distribution of energy density in a stationary self-reproducing inflationary universe. We show that the main fraction of the volume of the universe in a state with a given density ρ at any given moment of time t in synchronous coordinates is concentrated near the centers of deep exponentially wide spherically symmetric holes in the density distribution.
