No one can say but consider the whole universe is held together by means of vortices within vortices of centripetal energy--with their associated electromagnetic fields--like whirlpools on water, within larger whirlpools (this is the machinery behind Einstein's spacetime topology of general relativity). These spiralling energies give rise to natural spacetime orbits: satellites around planets, planets around stars, solar systems around other more major vortex centres, and so on. Our planet Earth orbits the Sun once a year but our solar system as a whole also traverses an orbit in this section of the galaxy with a period of about 24,000 years. There are many other solar (star) systems in this cyclic motion (just as there are numerous planets orbiting the Sun). The Pleiades, which is encircled by the photon belt, is about 400 light years from us, and is part of this system and in fact our solar system orbits the central sun of the Pleiades, Alcyone. The belt consists of many photon bands emanating from the centre of the galaxy, and associated with the spiral arms of the galaxy.

The Sun is definitely not the center of the universe. Basically it has no center or edge, just like the surface of the Earth has no center or edge but does have a limited number of square miles to it. The "edge" of the Earth is the surface you are standing on, and the way off that edge is "up". In an analogous way, everywhere in the universe is the edge, and to get off that edge is to jump in some direction that is neither up nor down nor right nor left nor forward no backward, but in some other direction into some other dimension which is not part of out universe and which we cannot perceive. And the center of the universe, if there is one, would be in that other dimension, not touching our universe, just like the center of the Earth is not touching the surface.

No, their is only a measurable point of the Universe. The part of the Universe that is observable is 49 billion light years in every direction, that is how far we can see and s, we can't measure the center point of the Universe.

Yes, 600 years ago this world would have been considered as the center of the universe.
BUT the times they are a'changin.

This solar system or galaxy is NOT the center of the universe. The Big Bang is still in motion outward. Just back track it in reverse and you'll find your spot.

define center and you will define the center of the universe. Center is human concept from a human brain. Center assumes finite reasoning. The universe may not be finite

They say theres a black hole in the center of our universe,
its very far from our solar system

I don't think there is a center of the universe because the planets are constantly shifting and the stars shift very slowly.

Space appears to be isotropic (the same) in all directions, which leads us to believe that there IS no center.
