In other words, distance is a misnomer in relation to the universe (infinite space). We can measure distance from ourselves using ourselves as a reference point, but what is our cumulative speed (earth's rpm, earth's orbit around the sun, our solar system's orbit around the milky way, the universe expanding away from itself, etc.) if we have no reference point outside of our system already in motion? Does the special (or general) theory of relativity have an answer?
Or am I totally missing something?
