Now I'll explain the center of the universe... if you blow up a balloon you will notice the balloon has two centers.. the center is in the middle where all the air is at.. and the center of the surface where you blew the balloon. Now the earth has two centers.. the middle of the earth... and the center on the surface of the earth... it might have sealed up by now... so it might be hard to find..
