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?
We also get a few glances of the coordinate system that the time machines use in doctor who. It appears to have enough digits for a date/time as well as an X/Y/Z grid coordinate.
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

There is not central point in the universe, and no way to calculate a position. Everything is relatove
Here, that might be interesting to you.
You are not where you think you are
This is why Doctor Who has a time and space machine. Also because the BBC didn’t have the effects budget to show him flying around.

Isn’t everywhere kinda the center?
Effectively, yes
There actually isn’t a center of the big bang, every point is expanding away equally.
I think you’ll run into the three body problem.
