First of all, one must understand the probable size of the universe. Imagine for a moment, the size of our own solar system. The farthest space probe from Earth, called Voyager 1, travels at over 85,000 miles/hr and has been traveling for 33 years. It will take it approximately 7,800 more years to get 1 "lightyear" away from Earth. (A lightyear is the DISTANCE that light travels in 1 year) The nearest Star from Earth is called Proxima Centauri and is approx. 4.22 lightyears away and it would take Voyager 1 33,000 years to reach it. There are hundreds of millions of stars in our own Galaxy which is approximately 100,000 lightyears across! The next nearest Galaxy is approx. 2.5 Million lightyears away! And there are hundreds of millions of stars in that galaxy as well as most others! And there are Millions of Galaxies in the Universe! They tend to group together in clusters and strings of galaxies and spread out practically endlessly in what we call the Cosmic Web. We have yet to determine its size and without knowing it's boundaries, we cannot possibly determine its center.
