Uhm ackchually Earth has been moving through space all this time, so this isn't the place, it's just the atoms which did it.
Which referential are you picking? Is it better than Earth?
We’ve done ~20 orbits around the galaxy since then so we’re way the hell away from that spot.
Relative to us, which is how universal position works, we are in pretty much the same place.
Not to mention the galaxy was moving too.
Is that why I'm dizzy all the time?
And the universe is expanding
I'm starting to get a little motion sick...
Don't worry due to your inertial reference frame you can't tell anything is happening.
Must have been a lot of Dramamine going around before Einstein invented that.
I wonder how they got it into their cake holes before Newton finally brought us all to the ground by inventing Gravity.
Relative to earth, it is that place.
Unless you are pretty far up autist and "relative to universe" is only coordinate system you know :)
