With all our observation technologies and as "close to the edge" of the universe which we supposedly see, it would see logical that looking in some direction would be shorter and thus we would see the "edge". If not, are we then at the center of the universe?

Because we can only see a certain distance given our own limitations (technology & eye sight). So no matter which way we look it's equally far in every direction. Said another way, we have not yet found a solution to looking to the end of the universe (because then what you are hinting at would occur).

Every place in the universe would see the same type of picture. So, no. We are not at the center, but neither is any other place. Believe it or not, that is what the models actually say. It is easy to see how this can happen in an infinite universe. For a finite universe to be consistent with this, space has to be curved. Somewhat like a 3D version of the surface of the Earth.

The Raezorians are purposely cloaking our observation of the universe.
The true center of the universe is the same damn thing in the center of our galaxy, just a trillion times more massive.
The galaxies are not movies away. They are just simpling moving about. And the Raezorians, by altering the waves of light as they approach the Earth, make it seem as though each galaxy is moving away at the same rate from the Earth.
This is actually easy to do if you can establish satellite that alter the wavelength of each ray of light by using gravity. In case anyone didn't know, gravity can distort space and can curve light around stars.

If you're out on the ocean, you can see equally far in all directions even if you're 200 miles offshore in one direction and 2000 miles offshore in another.
If space has a positive curvature, it is finite but unbounded -- just as a sphere is a finite but unbounded 2-dimensional surface (wrapped around a 3-d volume). An ant on the surface of a sphere can walk anywhere on it, even all the way around it, yet never find an edge. If space is positively curved, it has the same properties: finite size (you could circumnavigate it if you lived long enough) but no edges or boundaries. So in that sense, either there is no center or anywhere is center. Hunt down any elementary book on theory of relativity.

There nonetheless isn't any center of the universe and it remains a ramification, not an explosion. there is not any outside, both. this question comes up a minimal of 0.5 a dozen situations an afternoon. Please examine a strong e book on the topic. The universe isn't round. in case you may want to work out it in a more advantageous dimensional area, it would seem extra like a bushy/spiky orange with the aid of community version of mass density and subsequently curvature. all of us understand a number of those issues from observations. all of us understand each and every thing from observations. it would want to't be any opposite direction because the theory that "organic questioning leads to perception" is a fable of philosophy that had to be abandoned a lengthy time period in the past.

From our perspective, we appear to be at the center of the universe because the universe is so vast that even with our most powerful equipment, we cannot see to the edge of it, no matter what direction we look.

It's all a matter of perspective. Whether you're talking about the perspective of earth of anywhere else, x light years will always be x light years no matter where you are. As far as we know, the universe is infinite, is impossible to see an edge.

The Universe goes on infinitely long in each and every direction. We can only see to a certain point, so you would never see the point of infinite, and the point farther than infinite

We are in the center of what we see. There may be things far beyond our ability to see, or conceive seeing.

i try to explain this all the time that that reason is because the universe is infinite both in size and age scientists jus come up with this stupid **** both because they are dummer than they think and there understanding is limited because of there beliefs
