I read somewhere that no matter where you might happen to be in the Universe, you'll still be effectively at the center of it.

You're always at the centre of your own [i]observable[/i] universe, as what you can see is the lights which has had enough time (13.798 billion years (±37 million years)) to reach you, which is a sphere centred on you.

What really messes with peoples heads is that the furthest distance you can see is 45.7 billion light years, and the lights from there has taken less than 14 billions years to get here 🙂

Space, the final frontier.
Which is also not only queerer than we think, its also queerer than we CAN think.
