>>6002638 I thought we, or at least the local supercluster, was very close to the centre? I saw it in a article somewhere.

what defines the edge? i know it's the only light that hits Earth. Is it because there's a beginning of the universe? Is it because there was only glowing everything before that?

Any point in space is at the center of its own visible universe. It can see equally far in every direction.

>>6002638 Every point is the center of the visible universe for an observer at that point.

>>6002692 >what defines the edge? Your past light cone, which is curved inwards near the big bang. Thus giving the universe an overall pear-shape in spacetime.

>>6002762 This. We might as well be at the center, it sure looks that way from our perspective.

>>6003508 Good explanation. Ends on kind of a silly note. "Everywhere is the center." is an excessively smug and misleading way to say, "There is no center."
