    Why would you teleport relative to the sun or the center of the milky way? Wouldn’t it be easier to teleport relative to the nearest surface?

      The universe doesn’t care what you think is easier.

      It moves, you moving from one point in the universe to another needs to take into account where all the moving parts are going.

      Only instant teleportation, where nothing has had time to move, would work. But that would be akin to traveling back in time.

        The Universe doesn’t give a damn about the Sun or the Milky Way, either, idiot. There is no defined central point for all coordinates. Everything is relative to something else or might as well be staying perfectly still for all intents and purposes.
