Well... If we are on a spiral arm of our galaxy, that moves, then the point is rather moot where the center actually is. It's not like the Lebanon, Kansas could suddenly grow legs and move to another area of the world. It wouldn't be static, just as any other star or planet in the universe.
True. And, if the universe is expanding as some of us believe, the center of the universe may always be in a different location. oops, I guess that's what you mean by it not being static.
