A twelve year old relative of mine asked me: If after there is a center of the universe (maybe the center is the point where the bigbang happened), could it be at absolute rest? Because everything is moving around the center! So in this universe, the center is at absolute rest. But Newton said there should be nothing that is at absolute rest.

I am also confused. What can I reply?

In our current models of the Universe, there is no "center". The Big Bang didn't happen "at a place", the best description is it happened "everywhere".
