There must be a center of the universe....?

In summary, the assumptions made in this conversation result in the following conclusions:1. There may be a theoretical center to the sphere that contains the entire universe.2. If the universe is finite, it does not need to have a center.3. The universe can annex more of whatever it has been annexing.

The OP has been answered several times over: No, expansion does not require a center of the universe and no this is not a matter of opinion.
