I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

It is above the darkness of the galaxy.

As the Bible says, at the right hand of the father.
Jesus was God incarnate. If you research the meaning of the right hand in Judaism, because God appeared as the prophesied messiah of the Jews, you'll understand better where he is.
God is the creator of all. Flesh, soul, spirit. And as we're told about our destiny, the body returns to the dust from whence it sprang and the soul to God who gave it.
God created the dust. Therefore Jesus returned to himself as creator of all things. He is the Holy Spirit that we call God.
@p_rehbein says:

God the Father = God OF us

God the Son = God AS us

So Jesus ceased to exist.

He also said the Father is greater than himself. Which should one believe?
Both. Jesus was God incarnate. The holy spirit is immense and as such is greater than the physical form he assumed as the Christ. While all that Jesus did, the miracles, was due to his using his power as God.

Jesus is fully human and fully divine. Where is his physical body?
He's in His body of flesh and bone, which has heavenly abilities. Remember when the Lord said the following:

=================================================================
While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet."
==================================================================

Therefore, Jesus is still in and will remain in that resurrected body, which is referred to as a spiritual body. This does not mean invisible, but spiritual. Jesus spirit returning to His body is what the meaning of the word anastasis/Resurrection, means, i.e. to stand up again. The Lord is our example of what is going to take place when He appears in the atmosphere and calls believers up. First the dead will rise, their bodies being reanimated and their spirits will be reunited with those immortal and glorified bodies, then immediately after that, those believers who are still alive will be changed immortal and glorified. This means that we will all be caught up in our same bodies, but with heavenly upgrades.

John 5:30 suggests Jesus' power comes from God, not from Jesus being God himself.

John 5:30 suggests Jesus' power comes from God, not from Jesus being God himself.
Matthew 1:23Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him[s] Emmanuel,”[t] which means[u] “God with us.”[v]

John 5:30 I can do nothing on my own initiative.[bb] Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,[bc] because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.[bd]

John 1:1 In the beginning[a] was the Word, and the Word was with God,[b] and the Word was fully God.[c] 2 The Word[d] was with God in the beginning.

John 1:14 Now[ah] the Word became flesh[ai] and took up residence[aj] among us. We[ak] saw his glory—the glory of the one and only,[al] full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

Amen seated at the right hand of the Father as its written. And when we see Him will we be as He is.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me."
Matthew 28:18
Great verse for this! Also...

Philippians
2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

WHERE IS JESUS NOW?

In Heaven preparing a place for us. He will eventually bring that place down and we will call it "New Jerusalem come down out of Heaven" and we will live there with Him forever and ever.:)

John
14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

Revelation
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

I submit that you won't find answers to your questions here at this time asking in such a manner.

Is English your primary language? If not that would be helpful information in understanding your interactions.

It may not be your intention but the way you are asking questions and then not responding when someone takes the time to respond and asking another looks like trying to stir up something.

If you are really out to avail yourself of the additional resource that the body can be when searching/seeking/doubting then based off what I just read for 7 pages, you may want to reconsider your interactions if what you seek is productive discourse.

Also to, of course understand that faith is a part of being a believer and that "straight answers" that are based off sight and not faith are rarely given in a way that satisfies the carnal inquisitiveness of humans and the impatience for faith to be sight. I'm not saying it "can't" occur but it is incredibly rare and may not ever happen.

You have an option I see...to take your questions to the Lord regardless of who you understand him to be and humbly place yourself at his mercy for understanding.
