Popular opinion holds that there is no centre of the universe. How does that conform to big bang theory?
All galaxies except the ones that are very close, are red-shifted and hence moving away from us. Allegedly. And yet this doesn't mean that we're at the centre of the universe? Oh right, forgot about the "balloon theory". Oh, please.
A couple of links:
"In 1929 Edwin Hubble announced that he had measured the speed of galaxies at different distances from us, and had discovered that the farther they were, the faster they were receding. This might suggest that we are at the centre of the expanding universe, but in fact if the universe is expanding uniformly according to Hubble's law, then it will appear to do so from any vantage point.
If we see a galaxy B receding from us at 10,000 km/s, an alien in galaxy B will see our galaxy A receding from it at 10,000 km/s in the opposite direction. Another galaxy C twice as far away in the same direction as B will be seen by us as receding at 20,000 km/s. The alien will see it receding at 10,000 km/s:
A B C
From A 0 km/s 10,000 km/s 20,000 km/s
From B -10,000 km/s 0 km/s 10,000 km/s"

"The problem here is that, whether we're talking about a balloon surface or our real universe, an expansion would not be detectable to inhabitants of that universe."
"But the need for any such Big Bang would disappear if we dissociated the red shift from galaxy motion. Suppose that the lengthening of the wavelength somehow "just happens" as light travels."

I mean, seriously, piss off.
Oh, and check this out:
There are no "redshifts", let alone blueshifts.
