Where is center of the Universe

I've had Big Bang Theory TV commercials running thru my head and decided to see how far from the center of the Universe or Solar system is. I remember from school that the farthest objects in the Universe (that we know of) are accelerating away from the Universe faster than any other Universe objects are (hence theory of a "Big Bang").

But it seems there is no center (ie single point) of the Universe. These articles explain:

"if there was a point of origin (the center) of the Big Bang similar to typical explosions, then that point and all regions near it would be comparatively warmer than all others...However, when scientists point their detectors to all directions, the readings they obtain indicate that the Universe, in general, is homogeneous."

"First, it’s important to know that the big bang wasn’t an explosion of matter into empty space—it was the rapid expansion of space itself. This means that every single point in the universe appears to be at the center."

While some believe the center of the universe is a black hole only yo momma could exert such gravitational forces.
 
It's all relative ... here's the center of my universe first thing in the morning ...

Reminds me of the joke: How many lead singers does it take to screw in a light bulb? One; all he has to do is hold it up and it will screw itself in because the world revolves around HIM!
 
There is one thing that I find amusing about the pondering of our universe. It seems that it is human nature to look for the 'beginning' of everything. As sentient beings, we have this strange habit of catagorizing and classifying everything. Scientists spend their entire lives trying to find the 'beginning' of the universe. They seem to think with their new telescopes and computers, that they will be able to find it. Man has been looking for the beginning of our universe since man first looked up at the sky. He didnt find it then, and he wont find it now. You want to know why? Maybe, just maybe, there is NO beginning. Maybe the universe has been here for all eternity. Maybe the universe has no beginning and no end. It stretches on forever and ever. At least that is the way I see it. Until someone can come along with iron clad, and conclusive proof to the contrary, that is the way I see things.
 
The center of the universe is everywhere. Ask Lao-tzu, many serious nuclear physicists like Heisenberg agree with that. All is One.

One may only realize that by intuition, and that is the problem, the "crux of the biscuit"... (Zappa term). :D One may comprehend the core of Heisenberg's "Uncertainty principle" at least only by intuition, and that is the only way (Tao). So if we get this, we may also "know" that the center of the universe is everywhere.

By the way Zappa - CPIII quotation:

Monica: "Are you trying to tell me that...that this whole universe revolves around one note?"

Spyder: "No, it doesen't revolve around it, that's what it is. It's one note."

In science, we get to pick the coordinate system.

Close, but it's actually the Fremont neighborhood, in Seattle. They even have signs saying so, so you know it's true. That's why I buy pretty much all my records there, because they're capable of appreciating ME. :D ;)
 
If the Universe is infinite, the centre is everywhere. If not, it's probably located somewehere around my liquor-cabinet.
 
Where is the center of the universe?

Same as asking:

Where is the center on the surface of a ball?
