Reply to comment by towkneeman777 in How does time dilation affect our observations of very distant objects, considering the expansion of the fabric of the universe is causing them to become more and more distant? by HunkyMump

No. Expansion is uniform everywhere. There is no centre of the universe, nor an edge.

Yes but how to observe the uniformity of the universe don't one have to observing it from somewhere other than said universe ? Just a thought

Well it looks pretty uniform from what we can see (and we can see a lot of it - the observable universe is huge). There is no good reason to assume there is anything particularly atypical about 'our bit' of the universe and the unobservable universe would be any different).
