All Euclidean spaces have a unique geometric origin (0,0,0). Yes, there are
all kinds of transformations, rotations, etc etc, but all Euclidean spaces
must have a center (0,0,0......n).
Spacetime has no such geometric origin. It is originless. This could be
important to ScR (Laurent Nottale's scale relativity), but I cant imagine
how.
