It IS the case (that dark energy is causing the space which you occupy to expand), but the influence of gravity is greater over this distance.

I mean... hypothetically.

According to the ideas that seem most widely accepted at this time.

The magnitude of uncertainty in any hypothetical measurement device dramatically overshadows the magnitude of the effects of dark energy on any realistic scale at our current level of technology and experimental methods.
