The Tulsa Center of the Universe is a worn concrete circle, approximately thirty inches in diameter, within the middle of another circle made up of thirteen bricks. Overall, the center is a little more than eight feet in diameter. The center of the universe is an acoustic anomaly; when one stands in the center of the circle and makes a noise, that noise is echoed back several times louder than it was made. While this in itself is amazing, the truly amazing thing is that no one standing outside of the circle can hear a thing. From May 2016-May 2017 there is an art installation in the bricks that can be seen at night-very cool!
