When You Stand Here, No One Can Hear You Speak

Opened in the early 1980s, the Boston Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, otherwise known as the Center of the Universe, is an important civic-space and first-day visitor destination in Downtown Tulsa. It serves as a passageway to hundreds of employees each day and as a gathering place to many others.

The "Center of the Universe" — is a strange acoustic phenomenon located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you stand at the right spot, which is on top of the centre concrete circle, and start speaking or yelling, your voice will echo wildly, no matter how soft or loud you try to speak. But to listeners outside, your voice completely disappears.

The 'Centre of the Universe' refers to a small concrete circle that sits within a larger circle of bricks. Extending from the centre concrete circle (about 76cm/30inches in diameter) is another circle of 13 bricks which is also surrounding by another circle and so on. In total, the full 'Centre of the Universe' is about 2.5 metres (8 feet) in diameter. In other words, it is just concrete and bricks forming a circle on the ground with nothing extra or special added to it.

LOCATION

The Center of the Universe is located exactly northwest from the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame and north of the Willams Center Tower. So the next time you’re in Tulsa, get in that circle and give a holler.

Location: 20 E Archer St, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
