If I understand the big bang theory correctly our whole universe was in a hot dense state. And then suddenly, rapid expansion happened where everything expanded outwards presumably from the singularity. We know for a fact that the universe is expaning and has been expanding since it began. So, theoretically if we go backwards in time things were closer together. The more further back we go, the more closer together things were. We should eventually reach a point where everything was one, or where everything was none (depending on how you look at it). This point should be the center of the universe since everything expanded from it. But after doing a bit of research I have discovered that there is no center to the universe. Please explain to me how this is possible.
Thank you!

I postulate that I am, in fact, the center of the universe. When I look around, I see everything moving away from me, ergo I am at the center. I say it tongue in cheek, but for anything that expands from a point (something with zero length, width, or height) all places within the expanding volume are effectively the center.
