The universe is so large that when you see it from just about anywhere, it looks 
like you are at it's center. Just looking at the night sky, you can hardly say 
if you are at the center of the galaxy or not.

The Universe is like a large sphere whose center is everywhere and the 
circumference nowhere. (sory, I don't remember the source)
