I know we're in a meme community but this did get me thinking... Not only is the Earth spinning but it's also in an orbit around the Sun which is also orbiting around the center of the Milky Way which is moving through space relative to other galaxies and so on.

Do we have enough information to calculate a position in space in the future for Earth without a fixed reference other than current point?

I don't think we have a relative fixed point to go off unless you choose the centre of the big bang. It's all relative to other things around us which are also moving lol

Isn't everywhere kinda the center?

Effectively, yes
