In relation to the vastness of space, we aren't even on the map. There is no relationship of earth to the universe. The universe is limitless and has no center, edge, corners, or any other thing man could imagine. We don't have a number or formula big enough to describe it's size. It is unlimited, infinity squared or cubed to infinity. We can't even imagine what infinity is.

Watch the opening sequence of the movie "Contact" and that will answer your question.
We are as a pimple on the face of the abyss.
That does not diminish our significance, as we are the universe made conscious.

"We are in the centre of the known Universe." -- Ken E
A safe statement as everywhere else is the center as well.

Somewhere in the middle of millions of stars in one arm of a spiral nebula called the 'Milky Way'.
(I see the phantom 'thumber downer' is at it again).
