Hi
I know that the following can never be done in the real world, but in theory, if the vectors of all particles, antiparticles, photons etc. in the universe could be summed, would that qualify as an absolute reference frame for that instant in time?
Clearly each instant would have a different vector sum, but if these sums were traced over a long period of time, it's possible that they would be confined to a sphere somewhere in the universe with a radius that was many orders of magnitude smaller than the universe itself.
Not sure what practical uses such a reference frame would have, but if it is possible, at least theoretically, then it might lead to some interesting ideas.
