Well, we can take what we know about the universe to try and figure that out.
What is at the center of the universe?
The rest of the universe and all of its stars were on the last crystal sphere.
For centuries, this was central to how Europe and the Islamic world saw the universe.
He believed that the sun was at the center of the universe.
Eventually, we had to let go of the idea that we were at the center of the universe.
Shortly after Copernicus, in the 1580s, an Italian friar, Giordano Bruno, suggested the stars were suns that likely had their own planets and that the universe was infinite.
Centuries later, the philosopher Rene Descartes proposed that the universe was a series of whirlpools, which he called vortices, and that each star was at the center of a whirlpool.
According to this theory, all matter in the universe was once a singular, infinitely dense particle.
In a sense, our piece of the universe was once at the center.
But this theory eliminates the whole idea of a center since there can't be a center to an infinite universe.
Scientists have even used pi to prove the illusive notion that light functions as both a particle and an electromagnetic wave, and, perhaps most impressively, to calculate the density of our entire universe, which, by the way, still has infinitely less stuff in it than the total number of digits in pi.
This belief holds that the universe has a hierarchy resembling a chain, and that chain starts at the top with God, then travels down through the angels, planets, stars, and all lifeforms before ending with demons and devils.
Because humans have a mortal body accompanied by an immortal soul, we divide the universe nicely in half.

Over the last century, these two ideas have utterly transformed our understanding of the universe.
It's thanks to relativity and quantum mechanics that we've learned what the universe is made from, how it began and how it continues to evolve.
This is the essential problem: the universe is far, far too interesting.
Relativity and quantum mechanics appear to suggest that the universe should be a boring place.
But when we look around us, we see we live in a universe full of interesting stuff, full of stars, planets, trees, squirrels.
These are properties of the universe that we can measure, and they're extremely dangerous because if they were different, even by a tiny bit, then the universe as we know it would not exist.
In both of these scenarios, atoms could not exist, and therefore all the other interesting stuff that we see around us in the universe would not exist.
If it were a tiny bit different, then there would be no physical structure in the universe.
But there's actually an even worse example of this kind of fine-tuning of a dangerous number, and this time it comes from the other end of the scale, from studying the universe at vast distances.
One of the most important consequences of Einstein's general theory of relativity was the discovery that the universe began as a rapid expansion of space and time 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang.
Now, according to early versions of the Big Bang theory, the universe has been expanding ever since with gravity gradually putting the brakes on that expansion.
But in 1998, astronomers made the stunning discovery that the expansion of the universe is actually speeding up.
