Maybe the problem with the universe is that the actual topography of the universe is still unknown. So since nobody knows what is the shape of the universe, it makes indeed little sense to try to define a centre. If the universe turns out to be a sphere (even if it doesn't seem likely) we could define a centre.[[User:Meneldal|Meneldal]] ([[User talk:Meneldal|talk]]) 02:16, 29 January 2015 (UTC)meneldal

An analogy doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be helpful. It is meant to be a stepping stone between not understanding and full understanding, so your mind can take two smaller leaps instead of one huge one.  Apologies for the poor analogy.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.58|108.162.219.58]] 21:36, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
