Wouldn't the most mass equal the most gravitational pull? Are there concentrations of dark matter or is it spread evenly out over the universe? Since the universe bends, is there a center to the universe? Having one of those curoius days and need some help feeding the beast. Thanks in advance

Like Jerry P said... The universe does not have a center. Also, no place in the universe is special, generally speaking. And, the Universe DOES NOT bend. Astronomers and scientists now believe the universe to be FLAT. This is due to "dark energy" being equated into the formula that makes the universe's mass equal to the critical density, so there is no curviture of the universe itself. This is the most basic, upfront answer I can give you to your question, but as of 2007, this is what astronomers and scientists believe to be true.
How does this make sense?
The big bang did not start from a tiny little point, but in fact, expanded from all points equally and is now accelerating. There is no center, as hard to imagine as it is. I know it's crazy.

The universe is countless, yet that is not. It has edges yet it would not. quickly after the super bang, it became a lot smaller than it now.. yet 0.5 of infinity continues to be infinity. that is like our planet Earth. all of us be attentive to our planet isn't "countless" yet you could shop walking perpetually and you will ever get to the part. Or like that interest Snake. The snake can go on and on and it ever reaches an part. and how are you able to define the middle of that interest? the middle of the show screen in line with risk, however the physique might desire to easily be moved left and that doesn't substitute a element, it might nevertheless be purely as super, however the middle may be someplace else. there is not any such element because of the fact the middle or our universe. Our perception of "area" is diverse so it is confusing to think of.

Im not an expert but I imagine the center of the universe is where the point of singularity lies and is where the big bang happened. Everything is moving away from this point and not being pulled around by it.

Interesting question.... in electronics, like forces repel, so the center of a 'group' of electrons will have no charge and no mass (electrons) [layman's wording!]. Now, if the universe is expanding, might it likewise have the least mass at its centre???
I guess we'll never know! :-)

The universe has *no* "center".
