The Universe Has No Center: Here's Why.

The universe doesn't have a center as the Big Bang happened everywhere, and all distances in the universe were zero. The visible universe is about 94 billion light-years across, and if we consider that, we are at its center. The universe is isotropic and uniform, meaning it looks the same in whatever direction you look at and is the same everywhere at the largest scale. The universe could be infinite, and if something goes on forever, there is no special middle point. However, if the cosmos is finite, it could have a center, but our experience with the world doesn't translate to the universe as a whole.
