Why do some people say that Europe was and still is the centre of the Universe ?

Question

What are they talking about ?

Answer 1

Europeans and their kin in the Americas have always been pretty impressed with themselves. Not without some reason, of course, but you can bet the story would be different if the Chinese had been the dominant imperial power in the world.

Answer 2

Because some people are self-center and thought that the world revolve around them.

Some "world news" channels in these countries are actually "local news". They never mention about the other countries.

Answer 3

Really? Because ther is a great place in the Forbidden City in China where there is supposedly the center of the universe...

Answer 4

I don't know but it sounds like a loaded question. lol

I am flat out understanding it.

See you round.

Answer 5

if i was going to think science i would say because there are so many different cultures so close together and isn't there something about the centre of the universe being very tightly packed and the edges things being further apart.

Sorry random probly not helpful

Answer 6

Most people think that they are the Centre and the Universe revolves around them!  Does Europe have most of such men?  

(And I thought China & India were most populous!)

Thanks for correcting me!

Answer 7

They carry the 'white man's burden' still in their minds.

Not only Europe, even the US people think America is the center of the universe.

Only when citizens of the world think that there are other people out there, would be a real global village possible.

Answer 8

Being that the universe does not have a center, I do not see why they can not lay claim to that title.

Answer 9

cause they're stupid!!

na just kidding i'd say the main reson would be because of how big europe is.
