It is possible that our universe is a giant black hole, as the average density of a black hole as large as our universe, could be quite thin, about as thin as the vacuum of intersteller space, with the event horizon far out, that would imply a central point for our universe.
Might we be able to determine a center point for our universe?

mathematically (because it cannot be drawn, the shape of the universe must be described mathematically) the shape of the universe is similar to a donut. more complicated then that tho..it is more similar to a cube with opposite corners attached. those that said there is not center to the surface of a sphere hit the nail on the head. very good analogy.
one thing about black holes--there isnt one at the center of the universe because there is no center, but there appears to be one at the center of every galaxy. obviously there is no proof that EVERY galaxy has a black hole but every single one we have been able to observe has one...including the milky way

current way of thinking is that everything was created by supermassive black holes
the link below has 5 parts to it.. enjoy.
so it would stand to reason if they are right about galaxies... it maybe the universe has a center in which is turns on with a more massive black hole

possibly the finest thanks to guage this question is to think that the universe is an increasing balloon it truly is filling with air. in case you've been to chop back right into a small length and stand on one element of the balloon, and your chum on yet another, the area ought to strengthen because the balloon more suitable. even if, you'll see your self because the middle of the "balloon" universe, even as your chum will see she is on the middle. There truly is not any center to the universe because it truly is infinite. no matter if it truly is infinite (which truly potential its increasing), then there truly is not any center, and we are actual no longer at that element. even if, via phantasm, we trust we are on the middle, and so ought to an observer from a unique galaxy.

The universe is not a black hole. It is possible to be finite but have no center. The surface of a sphere is finite, but that surface has no center.

It can't be a black hole. If it were we could only move toward the singularity. The surface of a beachball is finite with no center.

Also depends on shape of the Universe. if it is very oblong, or some other odd shape, it may not be possible to define a center.

The universe no more has a "center" than a billiard ball _surface_ has a center.

Yes... just finished that.
Turns out that the center of the universe -- that's what you wanted, right? -- is right out here on my driveway, under my '91 Honda.
Who knew?

And your a top contributer? yes there is a central point, but if you do not know the boundaries then you can not find the center. Please do not be like 80% of these other idiots.
