Is the following sentence technically true or false?

The sun will rise tomorrow morning.

There are many ways of trying to answer this question but i shall explain how this question is neither true nor false based on interpretation of direction. As we all know we live on a planet, a planet in a solar system, a solar system around a star, a star in a galaxy, a galaxy, a galaxy in a universe but then what? well either the chain goes on to something like a megaverse but eventually a point shall be reached where we have found a name that sums up all the matter and energy that exists. Anyways imagine looking at this megaverse(or whatever the case may be) What direction are you lookin at it from? We don't know. Why not? Direction does not exist, direction is an invention made by man to describe location or positioning. SO who is to say the sun rises? Maybe it descends? So the concept of the sun rising is neither true nor false but the sentence states things that do not exist so the sentence would be technically false.
