Point in its direction then

So how do you know that the universe's topology even allows for there to be a "center"? What if it's topologically closed so it loops back in on itself? In other words if you keep heading in one direction long enough you'll end up back where you started.

Observe an explosion in a vacuum.

THERE ISN'T

well ok there is but not to us there isn't. The universe was a singularity, use your head and think about what that means. The "center" is every given point in tbe universe because waaaay back when all points were one at the center.

It is you mong, otherwise it would be subject to the laws of physics, which it is not

You're fucking retarded OP. The only place that can be considered "center" is wherever you happen to be viewing it from. Look at a piece of paper with dots on it, these dots represent stars/galaxies in our universe. Over lay a transparent paper on top of that, except expanded 5%. This mathematically simulates an expanded universe compared to a point in the past. You'll notice, that wherever you line up a dot with it's corresponding dot, you see a sort of effect like what we see when we look at distant stars. The further away from the reference point a set of corresponding dots is, the further apart the set is from eachother.

Like this. Except the universe has 4 dimentional geometry, so this equivocates to the paper extending infinitely in its planar directions.
