    the universe is expanding with its coordinates, there is no problem. you yourself are expanding with the universe and it doesn’t bother you much

      There are no coordinates. All distances and positions are relative. No such thing as an absolute position in our weird universe.

      Also you’re not exapanding. The space is, but not matter, and the forces between the particles that make up your body keep them in the same relative distance. Same with the solar system and the galaxy. The expansion only really comes into play on scales much larger than the galaxy.
