We are at the centre of the observable universe, keyword being 'observable'.
Copernicus hypothesized (discovered) that the Sun is the center of the universe and that the Earth isn't. (Actually the Sun is not the center of the Universe but it its the center of our solar system). At that time the church thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and they thought that they were right all the time and Nicolas Copernicus proved them wrong and they got angry at him for doing that because a lot of people didn't trust the church any more.
Heliocentric theory
The cosmological principle states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. This means that on average, the universe looks the same in all directions. The observable universe is defined by the extent to which light has had time to reach us since the Big Bang, rather than a physical center. Earth is not at the center of the universe; rather, all observers in the universe would see themselves as being at the center of their observable universe due to the isotropy of the cosmos.
No, that was what the scriptures said, but Copernicus's model, also promoted by Galileo, had the Sun at the centre instead.
Copernicus was credited with being the first astronomer to create a scientific-based heliocentric cosmology that showed the Earth from the center of the universe. He was the starting point of modern astronomy. (From wikipedia)

The black hole at the center of the GALAXY provides the centripetal force that causes the galaxy to rotate. Yeah, everything is slowly spiraling inward, but it's happening very very very slowly. There's no way to orient the universe in a way that you can find the center. We are at the center of our personal observable universe, but that's meaningless.

Hubble's discovery of the Andromeda galaxy being separate from our own Milky Way galaxy provided evidence that the universe is much larger than previously thought. This discovery laid the groundwork for the concept of an expanding universe and helped shift the prevailing view at the time from a static, finite universe to one that is dynamic and potentially infinite in size.
The force being tested is gravity, which is pulling the object downward toward the center of the Earth. This force is responsible for the weight of the object and is a fundamental force in the universe.
At the center of Aristotle's model was the concept of the unmoved mover, which served as the ultimate cause and source of motion in the universe. It was an eternal, unchanging being that set everything in motion without being moved itself.
Well, isn't that a magnificent question. At the heart of our universe, we find myriad galaxies, stars, and planets twinkling and dancing in harmony out there. Just like when painting a landscape, all these incredible elements come together to create a canvas so full of wonder and beauty.
At first the Earth was the universe, and the sky was only a part of it, one of its appendages. The idea of us being a small part of a huge universe is a very recent concept, maybe only 200-300 years old.
