According to the currently most accepted theories that deal with the origin and development of the cosmos, our universe is constantly expanding. This expansion is manifested by a red shift of spectral lines from objects at large distances, while we register it in all directions. Current measurements indicate that the cosmos is the same everywhere on large scales, or not homogeneous and it looks the same in all directions too – so it is isotropic.
Furthermore, cosmological models say that it is expanding at all its points. The very scientific idea of its expansion is very counter-intuitive, and in laymen it comes across as a natural effort to compare the given process to something from ordinary reality. According to experts, our universe expands internally, and not into some external space, as experience would have it. Since all its points are equal and the expansion takes place in each of them, there is no point at all that we can call the center of the cosmos.
