A concrete circle at the apex of a rebuilt span of the old Boston Avenue viaduct, between 1st and Archer Streets, in Tulsa, Oklahoma is known as "The Center of the Universe". The spot produces an acoustical anomaly [13] and it is for which the Center of the Universe Festival and Ms. Center of the Universe Pageant are named. [citation needed]
The center of the Universe is a concept that lacks a coherent definition in modern astronomy; according to standard cosmological theories on the shape of the universe, it has no distinct spatial center. Historically, different people have suggested various locations as the center of the Universe.
LNH was Dirac's personal response to a set of large number "coincidences" that had intrigued other theorists of his time. The "coincidences" began with Hermann Weyl (1919), [2] [3] who speculated that the observed radius of the universe, R U, might also be the hypothetical radius of a particle whose rest energy is equal to the gravitational self-energy of the electron:

An equivalent formulation of the old definition of the astronomical unit is the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the Sun of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with a mean motion of 0.017 202 098 95 radians per day. [5] The speed of light in IAU is the defined value c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s of the SI units.
The universe's size is unknown, and it may be infinite in extent. [14] Some parts of the universe are too far away for the light emitted since the Big Bang to have had enough time to reach Earth or space-based instruments, and therefore lie outside the observable universe. In the future, light from distant galaxies will have had more time to ...
The poles are located at ±90° from the fundamental plane. The primary direction is the starting point of the longitudinal coordinates. The origin is the zero distance point, the "center of the celestial sphere", although the definition of celestial sphere is ambiguous about the definition of its center point.
