How do you think the Centre of the Universe looks like? It should be something unusual and immense. And if I say that this is a small concrete circle inside another large circle of bricks? The Center of the Universe in Tulsa looks just like that. And, oddly enough, it attracts thousands of tourists, locals, and researchers.

The Centre of the Universe is a little-known known mysterious acoustic phenomenon. If you stand in the middle of the circle and shout or whisper something, the sound you make will be repeated several times louder. It is your own echo camera. It is not known what is common between the Centre of the Universe and the acoustic mystery. But it is its original name, and nobody is going to change such an attractive name for the attraction.

According to legend, you can hear a foghorn in the centre of the circle. It is impossible to hear it if you are outside. But those who stand in the centre and listen to the magic sound can find out what happens in the future. It looks like a local fairy tale to attract tourists, but your voice truly sounds distorted. Many people do not recognize the voices of their relatives when they hear them outside the circle. It creates an incredible effect.

Like the mysterious place on lake George, the Centre of the Universe is another acoustic vortex defying the laws of physics. Researchers believe that the effect is caused by a sound, reflecting off the round wall. However, scientists, studying this anomaly, cannot give a clear explanation of the phenomenon and come to a consensus. Whatever causes this natural sound distortion, it gives this place an unusual atmosphere.

How to get to the Centre of the Universe? From the corner of U. Archer and N. Boston Avenue Streets, a brick path leads to a pedestrian bridge, which is located over a railway. The centre is located northwest of the old Union Railroad Depot (now, Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame) and north of the Williams Center Tower. Next to it, there is another attraction of Tulsa, an Artificial Cloud statue.
