center of the universe.
Hello.
I'm in a spot and need some help. Google says every point in the universe is in turn at the centre of the universe. If I've read it right. That sounds wrong. Can anyone explain it to me in layman terms? Help would be appreciated. cheers Peter. |

Scientists are not the center of the universe. |

Where is the middle? It's that sort of logic that's got me asking. I'm sure your response is as simple as you can make it. It's still hard for me to imagine that we can say any and every point on that string is the middle / centre. I'll keep wondering... Thanks for your answer. |

You are in even deeper trouble if the other end stops somewhere, because then there is nothing, not even the string, and that definitely does go on forever. You may even find another piece of string. To remain sane one should accept that some things can never be known. |

Where is the middle? Not a problem. Since you have the end just divide the diameter in half, and you have the middle |
