Most posters on the subject of the center of the universe seem to believe that there is none.
If the universe is indeed the consequence of a "singularity" or cosmic micro-pea that blew up about 14 billion years ago, the singularity or micropea once represented the center of what was. Is there any reason to believe that this center point was not also the center of what it became, say, a microsecond after the bang? How about a full second later?
Carry this question forward in time, then, and ask when the center that once was a center of the universe, disappeared? Next, how did that happen? And where did the center go?
