Tulsa Center of the Universe

Day 322 / 365

There is a concrete circle in the city of Tulsa that is called the center of the universe. It’s nothing special, it’s just a circle made up of bricks on the ground.

But it is famous because this place has some mysterious acoustics. If you stand in the center of the circle and made a noise, the sound would be magnified and echoed back to you several times louder. No one outside the circle can hear anything!

You can see this in action in this video

This place was not specially constructed this way. It’s just a happy accident. The way the concrete walls are created around the circle is what’s most probably causing this effect.
