Consider that if there is an absolute frame of reference or not
In nature, we find that smaller entities are contained within bigger entities, which themselves are moving. For example, a passenger is part of a train, which in turn is part of the earth, which in turn is part of the solar system and so on. This aspect of containership of an object in another moving object is chained from smaller to bigger bodies. We simply do not know which one of these is the ultimate container and the one, which is not moving. These aspects of motion as described in the above paragraph leads to the following conclusions about frame of reference : "There is no such thing like a “mother of all frames of reference” or the ultimate container, which can be considered at rest. As such, no measurement of motion can be considered absolute. All measurements of motion are, therefore, relative."
