Where is the center of the Universe?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) October 22nd, 2010

In other words, at what point would a extremely powerful telescope capable of seeing the most distant known objects find equally distant objects when pointed in all possible 3-dimensional directions relative to its own position? Are we at that point? Is every other point in the Universe there too? How can that be?
