The answer to that question will fill several college degrees and a few lifetimes of study. The short answer is "We're not sure yet."

At present, it would appear to be mostly "empty space". But is it really "empty", or is it filled with transient and short-lived "virtual particles"? Is matter really "solid", or is it just some sort of bound energy? Are we really here, or is everything including me, the state of California and all of WikiAnswers some sort of fantasy that I've dreamed up in my mind?

Perhaps you'll write the book about this.

When all galaxies are moving away from us we must be located at the center of the universe?

The observation that galaxies are moving away from us is a result of the expansion of the universe, not because we are at its center. The universe is expanding uniformly, which means that every galaxy sees other galaxies moving away from it, regardless of its position. This phenomenon is described by the Big Bang theory and the cosmological principle, which states that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. Therefore, no specific location can be considered the center of the universe.
