The Center of the Universe

Located in Tulsa is a very peculiar place. Nothing much by the looks of it, since all it really is a circle of concrete that is surrounded by circles on circles of bricks.On the first look, it would seem like a brick design that is generally done on sidewalks. But there is something very peculiar about this one particularspot. Built in the 80's and measuring just 8 feet in diameter, the reason this place is referred to as the 'Center of the Universe' is because a curious acoustic phenomenonthat takes place here.Apparently, if you stand in the center of the circle and say something, it echo's back much louder to the person standing in the center of the circle, at the same time the person standing outside the circle hears either nothing....or a distorted version of what was said. The circle is almost like an unusual echo chamber. It is also called 'Whisper Chamber'. Weird huh?So far, from all the studies on it, no one has been able to explain it. An interesting place to check out either way.
