If we can calculate how fast galaxies are moving, and in what direction, can't we pinpoint the original place of the big bang?

ok as most correct people have stated. you are the center of the big bang if ya want a center..
picture this an infinitely small dot like this period .
thats the start now make that dot swell like bread dough but let it keep swelling for 27 billion years or so.. the thin membranes are the stellar medium. and the places where the thin membranes meet are galaxies. all started from the same spot. now add to this the curvature of space time and realize there is no 'outside' edge in the sense that it would be impossible to travel to an edge. and then you realize what these people are saying. the center of the universe is really everywhere.

It originated right inside you. And inside me. It happened inside the sun. It happened on the surface of Mars. And above the clouds of Venus. It happened half way to Sirius.
It happened everywhere at the same time. There is no center because the Big Bang happened everywhere at once.
And even that is not correct to say because the Big Bang never stopped. It is still going on, except that is has slowed down a lot (but it seems to be speeding up, again).
I know it is hard to imagine. But that is how it happened, anyway.

The Big Bang happened everywhere. It wasn't something that expanded into space from somewhere, it contained all of space within itself. That's why, no matter what direction we look in, we can see the glow of the early universe, redshifted down to microwaves. If you examine the expansion of the universe, you will conclude that wherever you are is the center, because space is expanding in all directions

Yes. The big bang occurred when two universes touched briefly. The collision produced the energy to form this universe. The energy is still pushing outward from that point of contact.

Nice Question. Answer is no we cannot and I believe there are many reasons. Consider big Bang as a drop of water which falls from the faucet after it falls and hangs in air you will never be able to tell where it originated from if you are in that drop of water as the water droplet would be your infinity as you would keep on going in circles to find the starting point. Also big Bang is a misnomer it was a very small bang but expansion was faster than speed of light as we had very exotic laws of physics at time of big bang.
PS. According to quantum physics there are many such drops of water floating like froth on sea of higher dimensions and we call them multiverses.

We're not as interested in the place as the time.
Scientists are closing in on the event.
