is there? and if so, is this fixed point theoretically at rest and every other thing is moving away from it? ( give me a fixed point in space and i will move the earth out of its orbit... )

I'll define one for you. Choose a time shortly after the Big Bang. Find the center of mass of the universe and call that the center of the universe. The net momentum of that system is zero, and it has a certain angular momentum. Both will be conserved from that point on. That point is a suitable origin for an inertial frame of reference. You couldn't say that everything is moving away from it, but you can say all of the expansion is outward from that point.
It's not meaningful to call that a fixed point in space. Fixed relative to what?
I haven't convinced myself of it yet, but I'm assured that there's no measurement or calculation you could make to find out where that center is or where you are relative to it. The expansion is uniform everywhere. That's the part I don't understand.
You've misrepresented the quotation from Archimedes, "Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world."

According to the Causation, Parity, Time-Reversal Symmetry theory the theoretical point can be anywhere in the universe and nowhere in space. Its an imaginary point, only observed whenever a black-hole is present and energies are exchanged from our universe to our parallel universe.
Because forces are inverted in parallel universe and time is reversed into an infinite loop the parallel universe becomes our mirror. Therefore, the center of our universe is right beside you, in front of you, below you, above you, anywhere within the fourth dimension... its just moving at the speed of light so you will never see it.

The Universe was mapped out by radio astronomy . It has a geometrical shape.Therefore every geometrical shape has a center.
However that center is a center of mass.Because the Universe is not static the center of mass follows a circuit similar to the center of mass circuit of the sun relative to its ten planets and moons, obeying the same rules of gravity fields.So as opposed to belief of a static frame of reference of relativity, the absolute frame of reference is not static but a dynamic one which continually changes but in itself folows an imaginary surface of motion.

Yes there is a center of the universe. Ask a physicist or an astronomer and they can point you in the right direction. Um, but that direction will only be good for about a second cuz the earth rotates, and... aw never mind.

This is my theory. Where does the energy sucked in by a black hole go? How about the energy is displaced in both space and time to the start of a new sun. In stead of thinking of one big bang, how about multiple big bangs. Until proof, that energy and matter can be destroyed, energy and matter have always existed. Without an end, there is no beginning.

ofcourse there is a center of the universe, but with only estimates about how large and wide the universe is, we have no possible way to determine the center.

which is why there is not big bang
