Cosmology noob here.
Since we have observable and documented evidence that galaxies, including our own, are rapidly moving away from each other, has there been any attempt by scientists to plot the exact location in 3-dimensional space where the "big bang" actually occurred?

Since every galaxy is moving away from every other galaxy, the only realistic answer to "where did the big bang happen" is where ever you are observing from.
>>7645278
I suppose it's possible, but why?
There's no real reason to figure that out.
I imagine the computing power required would alone make the task nigh impossible.
>>7645278
Everywhere. It's not an explosion, its a rapidly expanding point.
Your question is like blowing up a balloon and asking "what us the exact location of the balloon when it was less inflated?
>>7645280
Damn, that's fucking nuts
So are planets, our bodies, etc larger and constantly enlarging relative to what they were a second ago?

No, the cosmological constant is weaker than all other forces. Protons and neutrons are a small bit larger than you would expect from just measuring strong and electromagnetic forces, but the expansion is overhwlemed by gravity, etc.
In between galaxies, where there is no real concentration of matter or energy, the cosmological constant dominates, and thus space expands

fucking sage
Because asking 4chan is a better idea than a simple Google search

...And The Lord God Almighty owns the balloon factory.
Don't forget that part.
Look from your point the universe is expanding around you but from an another persons point the universe is expanding around him...

And yet, at every point, there is a center of the balloon's sphere. The point which is farthest from all the edges.

Thanks for that visual it was quite helpful I totally didn't know what you meant by center of the balloons sphere.
You're asking a question that is equivalent to "which point on the edge of a sphere is farthest from every edge?" There is nowhere on the universe that is the center of the expansion. It is outside of our observations, or "inside" the universe by your analogy.
