Description: The "Center of the Universe" is an intriguing and somewhat mysterious acoustic anomaly located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. It is not an actual geographical center of the city or state, but rather a unique acoustic spot that creates an unusual auditory phenomenon. The Center of the Universe is a small circle on the Boston Avenue pedestrian bridge that spans over the Arkansas River. If you stand in the center of this circle and make any noise, such as speaking or clapping your hands, the sound will appear to echo back to you louder than it should. However, people standing just a few feet away from you won't hear anything unusual. This creates a peculiar experience where individuals at the center hear their own voice or sounds as if amplified. The exact scientific explanation for this acoustic anomaly is not entirely clear, but it is believed to be a result of the bridge's unique design and the way sound waves are reflected and concentrated at the center of the circle. It has become a popular and quirky attraction in Tulsa, drawing locals and tourists alike to experience this strange auditory phenomenon.
