I always knew we were at the center of the universe.

Well, in a manner of speaking, we are at the center of the universe. VSauce had a great video (That I'm having trouble finding on mobile) on this subject. Because the universe is infinitely expanding in every direction equally, No matter where you are in the universe, you will be in the center. It's hard to explain, so hopefully I can find the video later.

Edit: Found the video. Tried to link it for the appropriate part, but couldn't get it to work. It starts at 8:19

That was incredibly interesting. I love VSauce. Michael always has something that makes me sit in wonder.

Yeah, that seems to be a bug forwardslash, mk. Anchors work in regular links, just not in youtube embeds, perhaps.

Thanks. I have to revisit our embeds. They are a bit of a moving target.

Anchors would be a good thing.
