The Big Bang is just a theory like many others,also since our telscopes only can detect galaxies from so far.we do not know how far the universe has expanded,therefore we have no way of pinpointing where it began,maybe in the future more powerful telescopes will be built and give us a better picture as to where we stand in the universe map

These information maybe a bit confused but:
There is no center of the universe!
You are right, though. The universe was created by the Big Bang. Yet there is no center to the expansion. It is the same everywhere.
It's seem so confuse, isn't it? Well, think of it this way:
The Big Bang should not be visualized as an ordinary explosion. The universe is not expanding out from a center into space. The whole universe itself is expanding and it is doing so equally at all places, as far as we can tell.

Don't think of the Big Bang as an explosion. An explosion happens inside of something else, but there's not a shred of evidence that the Big Bang occurred inside anything else. Instead just try to imagine an infinite, absolute vacuum totally without any mass, energy, or even space. Therefore our universe happened everywhere at once and has no center. No matter where you are in the universe that point looks like the center but isn't.

There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion. It is the same everywhere. The Big Bang should not be visualised as an ordinary explosion. The universe is not expanding out from a centre into space. The whole universe itself is expanding and it is doing so equally at all places, as far as we can tell.
In 1929 Edwin Hubble announced that he had measured the speed of galaxies at different distances away and had discovered that the further they were away from us the faster they were receding. This seems to suggest that we are at the centre of the expanding universe, but it must be remembered that motion is relative. If the universe is expanding uniformly according to Hubble's law it will appear to do so from any galaxy.

What everyone else is trying to explain is called 'Metric Expansion.'
What that means is, the edges of the Universe are not endlessly moving outward.. but that the space between all things is widening. All the time! The space between the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxys. The Space between the Earth and the Moon. The Space between every atom in your body!
What that means is that it's very hard to observe the expansion, because it's uniform across the entire Universe. The number of miles between the Earth and Moon is the same, because the length of a mile expands with it!
What that means is not that 'there is no center' but that the enitre Universe is still the center!

you've 3 important misconceptions. (a million) the massive Bang isn't real or pretend in accordance to se. it really is, at the moment, the perfect rationalization for the info. we've (a minimum of) 4 important observations (redshift of galaxies, large scale structure of galaxies, the cosmic microwave heritage, and primordial nucleosynthesis). And the massive Bang is the in elementary words set of theoretical recommendations which could concurrently clarify those important observations. So, in that experience --- it really is actual real. notwithstanding, a sparkling set of recommendations would come alongside and do a extra acceptable activity than the massive Bang. (2) no longer some thing exploded. That bears repeating. no longer some thing EXPLODED. issues sped up. Now, that would sound like a trivial correction, notwithstanding it really is truly important, and finally ends up contained in the less than: (3) The BB style is that the Universe sped up everywhere immediately. It did not boost *into* some thing because it defined each little thing which will be sped up in to. it really is like asking what's extra north than the North Pole? no longer some thing, precise? properly, it really is the equivalent question. the instantaneous of introduction (which isn't the massive Bang; a person-pleasant false impression) the gap and time were created. it really is not any longer possible to ask about the gap the position area would not exist.

As the universe is expanding in all dimensions at every point, any point is the centre... Imagine you were stood on a balloon being blown up, the other sides of the balloon would look to be moving away from you, and therefore you could easily say that you were at the centre of the skins expansion.
So, the humbling, and kind of special point to this question is that "you are at the centre of the universe", but then again, so am I, and everyone else who has answered this question.

If you draw dots on a balloon and blow it up, you will see the dots move away from each other. On the surface of the balloon there is no center to the expansion. The problem with visualizing this for the universe is that it has 3 spatial dimensions. You can see the effect on a balloon because you can see it in 3D space. You can't visualize the expansion of the universe because we don't have the point of view from 4D space.
(In the balloon analogy, the inside of the balloon is meaningless - the balloon universe is just the outside.)

There is no "center" in 3-dimensional space. Space-time (the universe) is 4-dimensional, so the center is 4-dimensional as well. If you think of 3-dimensional space as a balloon that is getting blown up, the center is in the empty area inside the balloon, not at any point on the surface. This is analogous to 3-dimensional space in this universe. All the stars and space is on the surface of the balloon, so there is no center.

no one has ever found the center of universe..
but for me, i don't believe there is no center . my description of center is the exact location where the big bang happened.. my guess the "center" is an area of nothing(totally nothing at all) for some distance, follow by our galaxies and everything orbiting about the "center"..
