We have no idea where the centre of the universe it and therefore we can not answer this question. The universe is expanding in all directions and we can not tell one direction from another.

When all galaxies are moving away from us we must be located at the center of the universe?

The observation that galaxies are moving away from us is a result of the expansion of the universe, not because we are at its center. The universe is expanding uniformly, which means that every galaxy sees other galaxies moving away from it, regardless of its position. This phenomenon is described by the Big Bang theory and the cosmological principle, which states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. Therefore, no specific location can be considered the center of the universe.


How can Earth be located at the center of the observable universe if you accept the cosmological principle?

According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.According to the cosmological principle, from ANY point it would seem as if we are at the center of the Universe.


What does Hubbles law tell us about the beginning of the universe?

It shows that in the past, galaxies were closer together; also, it suggests - as is commonly believed nowadays - that some time in the past, all matter in the Universe was very close together, in a very hot and dense state.


When was The Universe Around Us created?

The Universe Around Us was created in 1929.


Why senses would lead you to believe that the earth is center of the universe?

Our senses might lead us to believe that the Earth is the center of the universe because we observe the sun, moon, and stars appearing to move around us throughout the day and night. This geocentric perspective is reinforced by our everyday experiences, where we feel stationary while celestial bodies seem to traverse the sky. Additionally, the horizon and our immediate surroundings create a sense of being at the center of our environment, further solidifying this intuitive belief.

Why are you not the center of the universe?

Actually, each of us _is_ the center of our own "observable" universe. And for all we know, we're at the center of the real universe as well. In fact, we can't know if the universe HAS a "center", or where it is; all we can see is that most of the other galaxies seem to be ,moving away from us. So perhaps we ARE at the center? Nah, not likely.


Why does earth appear to be the center of the universe?

The Earth is where we are, and it is what we deal with in the course of our daily lives. Other parts of the universe are visible, but they are very far away and we rarely visit them. So from a subjective point of view it is perfectly valid that the Earth is the center of our universe. We also understand that objectively, the Earth is not in any way the center of the universe, but is just one planet out of some unknown but very large number of planets. Our planet is very important to us, but is not very important to the universe, as far as we can tell.


How fast are the farthest outer galaxy's traveling from the center of the universe.?

There is no such thing as the "center of the Universe". It is believed that the Universe looks the same from different places, there is no way to determine a "center". The farthest observable galaxies move away from us, at several times the speed of light.


Is universe moving towards us or away from us?

Neither. The definition of the 'universe' is: Everything that exists. And since that includes us, we are inside of the universe. The Universe is, however, thought to b expanding, and expanding faster at its outer edge. So the outer edge of the Univere is moving away from us. We, on the other hand, are moving away from the center of th e Universe (wherever that may be) so we are at the same time getting more distant from the center.


who placed earth at the center?

At first the Earth was the universe, and the sky was only a part of it, one of its appendages. The idea of us being a small part of a huge universe is a very recent concept, maybe only 200-300 years old.

What is the speed of expending of universe?

The farther an object is from the earth, in any direction, the faster it is receding from us ... it looks just as if the earth is the center of the expansion. But wherever you are in the universe, that place would look to you as if it was the center of the expansion. The universe is already infinite, it has no boundary, but it's expanding. Are we confused yet ?
