What is at the center of the UNIVERSE?
608005
The universe does NOT have a center. The main reason lots of people think that it must have one is because they think of the Big Bang as an explosion. It wasn't! An explosion happens inside something else, and there's no evidence whatsoever that our universe is inside anything.\n\nStart with an infinite absolute void--no matter, no energy, no space, no time, absolutely nothing. Then, somehow, the Big Bang event occurs. Only then did space come into existence. We can then say that the Big Bang happened everywhere at once. To claim otherwise we'd have to assume that there was some other "where" before the Big Bang.\n\nA geometric form without a center isn't hard to imagine. Think of the SURFACE of a perfect sphere. Where's its center? Of course, there isn't any.\n\nThe fancy words for these things that are so hard to comprehend are 'homogeneous' and 'isotropic.' The first word describes something that is everywhere the same. The latter word means that no matter where you are within that something it looks the same in all directions.

Your question has two parts. First, there isn't a "center" to the universe. I know that sounds strange, but it is true nonetheless.\n\nAs to what pulls, as you noted, everything pulls. However, some things are more massive and pull harder. There is a good book that shows the history of the discovery of what was called the "Great Attractor" IIRC, the book was Journey to the Great Attractor. \n\nThe Great Attractor is a supercluster of galaxies. Since then, we have discovered more about what is around us and exerting the stronger gravitional pull.\n\nA quick Internet search for galaxies + "great attractor" should give you plenty of reading material.\n\nIf you are interested in space, try\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/\n\nHope this helps\n\nChuck

yes i do.  it begs the question...so where is the edge of the universe...and what does it look like?  is it moving further outward or just hanging out like a big wall?  very deep.

No one anywhere has the answer to your question, or even if there was any "thing" before the Big Bang. The religious crackpot fundamnetalists certainly don't have the answer! By definition, the universe is everything there ever was, is now, or ever will be. At the instant of the Big Bang, all space-time and energy that will ever exist was created.\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

Where's the center of gravity, there's the end... :)\nActually, people invented term "infinity" to describe something incredibly large, incomprehensible... No one knows what "infinity" is except for that its really huge. \nSo try to see outer space like a HUGE jelly ball or jelly cub... HUGE enough not to go around it in 200 lives. But, theoretically, it is possible that even universe is round.

The Earth is in the Solar system, the solar system is in the Galaxy and the galaxy is in the Universe AKA outer space. The answer to your question is not known, some say the Universe is the end of that line, stuff is made of atoms, atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electons, protons, neutrons and electrons are made of quarks, which are made of (I think) gluons, huons and mesons. I think that their is another universe, say a ten or eleven dimensional universe, that holds infinitely more four dimesional universes, like ours, this is part of string theory.

Humans found out that they live in a small living planet in the middle of a very-small galaxy. our galaxy is in the middle of a small super-cluster too. And they dont know more about this.

Often when people are told that galaxies are receding from us, they assume that means we are at the center of the Universe.  However, remember that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic.  No matter where one is, it looks the same in all directions.  Thus, all galaxies\nsee all other galaxies receding from them.  Hubble's relationship is compatible with a Copernican view of the Universe: Our position is not a special one.\n\nSo where is the center?  *There isn't one*.  Although apparently nonsensical, consider the same question about the *surface* of a sphere (note the *surface*).  Where's the center of a sphere's surface?  Of course, there isn't one.  One cannot point to any point on a sphere's surface and say that, here is the center.  Similarly, because the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic, all we can say is\nthat, in the past, galaxies were closer together.  We cannot say that galaxies started expanding from any particular point.

It will be from way out on a plane based on our orbital track. I think the intensity of the sun will block out the view of whether or not it goes behind or in front of the sun. The center of the universe, even though it is a non-existent place, for arguments sake, would be moving as everything in the universe is dynamic. (There is no end to infinite, therefore the center cannot be defined.)

Just supose that the universe end in some point, that has a boundary. What would be outside? Nothing? And... what is between Mars and the Earth? Also nothing. The universe is... "the nothing", and never ends. Anyway, and suposing that you forget the relativity theory and you want to know where is the star/planet/thing that is farest from the "centre", you can say that the radius of the universe is less or equal to the speed of light times the age of the univers.

Center of the earth, since it hasn't been done before

What lies at the exact center of black holes is not known. Relativity equations point to the center of a black hole being what's called a "singularity," but that would be a point of zero volume containing infinite mass. Obviously impossible. As things now stand, our laws of physics simply do not apply to what the center of a black hole might be.

big bang. and its a big universe, we cant be all alone

Size & volume of the current universe have little bearing on how "big" or "small" the singularity was at the moment this universe came into being, since the structures of the various sub-atomic particles that make up atoms and unltimately the "stuff" you have difficulty in "compacting" were not yet defined sufficiently for your question to have meaning.  Not that it's a bad question.  It's just in the same family as "well i know the Universe is infinite, but what's outside it?"\n\nStephen W.Hawking might be a good place to start.

The universe. I say this because we have been studying the human body for thousands of years whereas the universe, only for a short time. Plus, we know so little about the universe.

Universe in general is the area of everything including earth, solar systems, nebulas, black holes, galaxies etc are contained within. Everything that is observable to us(human) are so far within this universe. So maybe there are more but to human.. there is only 1.
