No.
Not even space itself, in which "entities" exist, is stationary -- it's continually expanding, carrying along those things that are in it.
Motion is the rule in the universe, nothing stands still.

Physically speaking, no there will be no stationary object. It is because stationary s nothing but a term used to compare the motion of an object to that of another. But since at a time, something is always moving, everything is always moving.
Say two balls, A and B are taken into consideration. If their respective velocities to the Earth are 0 and v, it means to say that A appears stationary compared to B. However, in relative terms of B, A is moving with a velocity -v ie in the opposite direction. So, as long as something is moving, everything will have a relative velocity, thus nothing can be stationary.

Because of relativity, there is not fixed point of reference anywhere that speed can be measured against, so anything that exists can be called stationary with everything else in motion, and all those choices for what moves and what does not is equally valid.
If there was an object that would be truly stationary, there would be no way to asses that this is indeed its condition, and even then, the concept of stationary is meaningless; an object is stationary relative to another.

Hi,
There are many stationary entities in the universe. All you have to do is compare two things that are moving in the same direction at the same speed, and you've got two. It's all relative.
Hope that helps,
Matt

If there was a big bang, then the starting point is stationary.
Of course the starting point was moving relative to the stationary point. Of course I don't know where it is. I think it is in my bum.
everything revolves around me.

Stationary relative to what?
(Think about it, and also look into Einstein's theory of special relativity)

Yes there are many....
and they're all sitting at their computer terminals answering questions on Yahoo!
