In a universe of infinite size, where is the center? Where is the Earth?

Can anyone bring in a single scientific fact that demonstrates, irrefutably, that the Earth is not at the center of the Universe?

It isn't infinite.

Of course the earth isn't at the center of the universe. I am.

Why do the irrational keep seeking "proofs" for negatives? Can you prove, irrefutably, there is not a race of intelligent mice in another galazy, somewhere?

(By the way, I can prove both of the above, in case you are interested.) What's the point?

FreeRepublic is the center of the universe.

Because the Universe is not flat or sphereical and does not have a center.

Not sure, myself, but what I read says the universe isn't infinite.

Since it orbits the sun at an average distance of about 93MM miles, if the earth were the center of the Universe then the center would have to be moving in an eliptical path. I believe that a "Center" should be equi-distant from all putative edges. Therefore, if the orbiting earth were the center then all of the supposed edges would have to be mimicing the eliptical movements of the earth. If you cannot see the absurdity of this scenario by this point, I do not volunteer for the near pointless job of explaining it further. Regards
