I think this has to do with relativity and frames of reference.... you would be 67,000 miles away from what? It moves 67,000 miles per hour AROUND our sun. But keep in mind the sun is moving inside the milky way. And the milky way is moving in space relative to the other galaxies as well. In short, everything is in motion. Are we able to plot the entire universe into a X,Y,Z Axis?

Yes, but getting to that spot is the hard part

Sounds like the Three Body Problem.

The local galaxy group appears to be moving at ~600 km/s relative to the CMB (Cosmic microwave background) rest frame.

So you're saying there's no absolute reference frame?

We cannot, because space and time are relative. There *is no* universal cartesian reference plane in any dimension.
