Just wondering...if at the time of Big Bang, the Universe was concentrated into a ball, where exactly that was in the space? Does it not mean that the Big Bang site would have been at the centre of the present Universe? If every thing in the present Universe was in the single ball at the time of Big Bang, what was there in the remaining (infinite) space? What is life? Since we all owe our existance to the same matter, is it not possible that even some of the celestial bodies may also be alive themselves and have something called or similar to brain?

Even I thought it must be 0,0,0,0 (x, y, z, t) in 4D (including Time as per theory of Relativity)...but, then I guess its only the time coordinate which will be 0 as rest of the coordinates are measured in reference to coordinates at Earth.

the actual coordinates where the big bang started was at
x=0
y=0
z=0
now if only i knew where we are in coordinate system
;-}

Okay, so noone can give you the exact coordinates to the center of the universe because according to Big Bang Theory, it's everywhere. You see, the "big ball" that you mentioned wasn't just all the matter in the universe, it was the universe itself! So when the Big Bang occured everything started expanding, not just the matter, but space itself! The evidence of this is twofold: Everything in the universe is moving away from everything else at pretty much the same rate. The only plausible explanation is that the space itself is expanding. The other proof is there is a low level radiation evenly distributed over all of space. Meaning space itself has residual energy. Your questions on the nature of life and the remaining space is a huge philosophy questions and I could give you a few names of authors if you'd like.

Point Zero.
Everything along an X, Y, and Z axis and a temporal axis would be exactly at zero. The question isn't really where the big bang occurred, but where WE are in relation to that. Way out in the celestial boondocks, I'd say--and getting farther and farther away.
As for your more existential question...yes its quite feasable that something else in the universe would have something that we would/could classify as a brain, or a least cognizance, whether that thing is a celestial body, or a conglomerate of celestial bodies acting as something of a diffuse brain spread over a vast area. Who knows? As for other theories concerning the big bang, there's all sorts of weird brain-bending stuff out there, involving things like our universe embedded in quantum foam, to our universe actually sitting on the back of a turtle. Okay, that last part's actually from a creation myth, but it's nicely wacky.

Even if someone knew for sure that the Big Bang occurred (it is, after all, just a theory) and knew precisely where it happened, they couldn't give you coordinates. They could maybe give you a piece of sky to look at, but the rest of the universe has not been mapped like the earth.

If you proscribe to the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe, there can be only one beginning. The coordinates for that location would be 0,0,0, the exact center of the known universe. The big bang created the universe, therefore it must be at the center.

Nine to the universe.
Yes, I think it is possible for the celestial bodies to have similiar properties to that of a brain. This computer will be able to think in the very near future. You and I are in pysical bodies. Who is to say that the universe is not another form of intelligence in a completely different dimension.

It happened everywhere...
In the Big Bang space was created, so it actualy happened everywhere.
Since then space was expanding, but not into anything, just expanding. You can on the other way say that space stay the same size, just everythin in it gets smaller...

You are inside the Big Bang right now.
