Is there a center of the universe?

Question

Well, I know there's the senter of our solar system, the sun, that the planets and other things revolve around.. And our sun revolves around that big mass in the center of our galaxy.. Doesn't our galaxy move around too? So, what would it be that it's revolving around? But then again, if the universe ish never-ending.. then it couldn't really have a center, I don't think.. So what do you know, or think? Thanks. :}

Answer 1

You've got a lot of confusing answers here.

However, there is only one scientifically accepted correct answer: the universe has no center. It has no center because the General Theory of Relativity does not permit the universe to have edges. No edges, no center.

We do not know if the universe is infinite or finite in size, but that makes no difference. If it's infinitely large, then it is filled with galaxies uniformly throughout, and there isn't a center of an infinite space. If it is only finitely large, then it must curve back on itself. You could circumnavigate it* in a spaceship--- launch and travel in a certain direction, and eventually you would get back to where you started from. Such a universe also has no center, because it has no edges.

*(Actually, you can never circumnavigate the universe because it is expanding too quickly... but it would have that *shape*)

Answer 2

It has no center and no boundary.

Think of the surface of the earth. What would you say is the center of the surface of the earth? New York, London, the South Pole, North Pole. From each point you would look out and see the circular horizon and conclude that you maybe the center of the surface of he earth. But no point can be said to be the center of the surface of the earth.

Similarly if you look at various galaxies they are all (mostly) moving away. One might then conclude the Milky Way is the center of the universe. However, all the other galaxies also see the other galaxies moving away and would say they are the center. No one is right because in the same way that the surface of the earth has no center the universe has no center.

Answer 3

The universe is never ending scientists have not even found the end of it so,there would be no center.But if there was, i belive it would be heaven.The directions I belive to Heaven would be the north pole and then due north into the skys because,there is nothing in that area.And the sun does not move at all so,it doesnt rotate or revolve around anything.The galaxy does move but very slowly.If a galaxy clashes with another,nothing will happen.God would have to be the center because if he was at the end there would be nothing but that nothing would clash in to anything and hat everything would fill up that nothing.So, God Would have to be the center of the universe.

Answer 4

The universe is generally recognized by astrophysicists to be finite but expanding. However, this does not mean that there is a 'center'. Think of the universe as the surface of a balloon, with all of the galaxies, stars, etc, as little points on the surface. As the balloon expands, matter gets farther and father apart, but no one spot can be considered the 'center'.

Answer 5

EVERY point is the center of the universe. All four(pi) steradians exactly point to the Big Bang from everywhere. This is the geometry inside a black hole's event horizon, too. You cannot exit because all directions point toward the singularity.

The universe has ZERO angular momentum. If the universe spun it would be detectable with any three orthogonal accelerometers (e.g., laser ring gyros and even a Foucault pendulum). If the universe spun it would not be an inertial frame of reference. In contrast to what would you have the universe spin?

Answer 6

Technically talking about it the center of universe is exist. Let we take example of atom. The sub atomic particles revolve around the neculeus. The moon revolve around planets, planets revolve around the sun or its respected stars, billions of stars revolve around the center of glaxies, Even galaxies revolve around some big mass. And finally the mass of this revolve around the center of gravity according to scientists.
So the center of universe is exist though we havn't found the proof of this hypothesis but we are working on it. And big bang theory also come after this concept.
So i truely belive that whatever u hav concept abt in ur mind is true.

Answer 7

No, the appropriate opposite is genuine. If the universe is infinitely super in all guidelines, no factor could be precisely on the centre. the reason being, to divide an merchandise into 2 the article could desire to be a finite length. no count if it incredibly isn't any longer a finite length you could in no way say once you have reached the centre as you do not have a commencing or ending factor from which to degree. anyplace you start to degree from, or anyplace you quit measuring, the universe nevertheless stretches out in front of you and at the back of you infinitely. despite in case you travelled in a in the present day line on the fee of sunshine for 40 billion years, once you stopped the universe could nevertheless stretch out in front of you infinitely.

Answer 8

We don't know...it would APPEAR that it doesn't, but this is subject to much debate still. We still haven't even figured out what exactly it's shaped like!...some theories give it 4 dimensions, while others give it 11 dimensions....and have it shaped like something called a "hypersphere", which has 4 dimensions...one more dimension than can be shown in a picture, unless you wanted to represent what it's SHADOW might look like!!
It's hard to say when the further outward you look, the further backward in TIME you're looking! So, there's still a lot of figuring going on.

Answer 9

In theory, yes. But then a theory is just made up according to the available evidence. We won't know until we can find the edges of it. If there are edges. Basically there's no way of actually knowing... we can just make educated guesses and the educated guess that's going around at the moment is that the universe is constantly expanding... or shrinking.. and for that to be the case, there needs to be a centre for it to expand out from, or shrink into!

Answer 10

No there is not. in fact the universe is so big our minds can't even imagine. If took all the grains of sand of all the beaches on Earth and count them up the number you would get would be less than the number of stars there are out there.
