Center of the Universe
Everything orbits here
Center of the Universe is a phrase used literally to describe a hypothetical central point in the cosmos, though modern cosmology holds that no such point exists.
More commonly it appears in figurative or ironic contexts to describe someone who acts as if everything revolves around them: He thinks he's the center of the universe.
Several cities and neighborhoods have adopted the nickname, often tongue-in-cheek, including Tulsa, Oklahoma and a district in Seattle.
