    Kiiiind of. I suppose we haven’t definitively ruled out a geometric centre, but it runs up against Occam’s Razor in a really big way. A centre of the universe would require some kind of boundary or edge to the universe, and the physical dynamics of how that would even work are very much non-trivial.

    Generally the universe is thought to either loop back on itself like the surface of a globe, or extend infinitely in every direction.
