   I don't know about Elvis, but the center of the universe is
   everywhere.

Suppose for some unknown reason the Universe stopped expanding. Would it 
have a describable "center" at that point in time?

Or, if it started contracting toward a new singularity what would be 
"outside" of it when it got to be the size of a basketball?

   No center does not depend on expansion or contraction.
