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!

To explain that it is much easier to go one dimension down and explain it in 2D.
Think about a 2D area like the surface of a balloon.
If we blow up the balloon the surface expanses.
Is there any point on this surface that could be called the center?
No from each point all other points move away if we blow up the balloon more.
Same we see with telescopes looking into the deep space.
