They looked at me like I was crazy.
"Wow, you're centre of the universe, aren't you? The world just revolves right around you."
"Well, I wouldn't say the world revolves around me. But you're right, I am the centre of my universe." They stared. "It's logical." They stared more.
"Logical."
"Yup."
"Would you like to elaborate on that?"
"Sure. If the universe is infinitely large and expanding fast in all directions to boot, from my perspective, in the limit to infinity, the edges of the universe are equidistant from me. And if they are equidistant, then no matter what the shape of the universe, I am at its centre.
"So there you go, I am most certainly at the centre of my universe."
The senior ones smiled. "Well, can't argue with that."
