Space is the absolute frame of reference. A body's absolute motion is always zero (0), relative to absolute space, but the body's mass/energy level, relative to absolute space, does vary and is manifested as the body's "inertial mass" or its "space energy level". The energy level of a body, relative to other bodies, is its momentum (Mo=MV). Einstein was wrong when he said that "the universe has no absolute frame of reference". - He failed to take into account that the although the motion/energy of a body relative to absolute space is always zero (0), the mass/energy of the body is not. The body's mass/energy depends on its energy level relative to absolute space. (its "space energy level"). The higher the "space energy level" the greater is the body's inertial mass. Although there is no motion involved, the body's inertial mass/energy level varies with its "space energy level". Absolute Space has no direction, or geometry (Euclidean or Riemmanian) it is all one, there is no part of absolute space. When you speak of coordinates or references you are not speaking of space itself you are speaking of points or lines within space - not absolute space itself. A body always has two energies - one vector (kenetic) relative to other bodies and one scalar (inertial mass) relative to absolute space. The "laws of nature" are the frame work of the universe and determine its personality. They create "absolute space" and everything it contains. Absolute space can only exist within the domain of these laws, where the "laws of nature" end - absolute space ends. This is the limit of the extent of the universe. If space is expanding (highly unlikely), it is only because the laws of nature are expanding into the void. The two types of energy we are concerned with here are: motion/energy and mass/energy. Motion/energy of a body is its momentum relative to other bodies,(Mo=MV). Mass/energy of a body is its energy level relative to absolute space. Mass/energy is manifested as a body's "inertial mass" or its "space energy level". Bodies do not move relative to absolute space, no motion is involved. A proton's rest mass is variable, depending on its "space energy level" relative to absolute space. A proton's "rest" mass in the outlying area of a spiral galaxy will be greater then a proton's "rest" in the slower central part of the galaxy. Also a proton's inertial "rest" mass in a galaxy that is at a higher (or lower) energy level relative to absolute space, then is ours, will be greater (or lower) than a proton in our galaxy. The astronomers were right about the planets or stars not having a special place in the universe! The fact is absolutely nothing moves, relative to absolute space. Everything ( galaxies, stars, atoms, photons, etc.) are motionless relative to absolute space, BUT their inertial mass/energy level relative to absolute space does vary. - Like Einstein said, "the motion of one object or wave can only be measured relative to another." Michelson's experiments could find no evidence of a change in the speed of light no matter what direction their apparatus was aimed. This is an indication that the earth is motionless relative to absolute space and light will travel at the same rate away from the emitting body no matter which direction it heads. It also indicated that there was no aether wind but that would be a natural conclusion since the body is not moving, relative to absolute space. Light apparently needs no medium to travel through (other then absolute space)? Maybe there is some sort of a medium that light travels through??
