No full quote a few words like what you have said may easily be miss understood, you may be reading something that he did not mean.

For example he could be talking about a hypothetical zero reference frame such a frame does not exist it's just useful sometimes to imagine it.

The fact it's talking about a stationary system makes me think perhaps this is one of those situations.

It's a bit like talking about being outside space or the universe is sometimes conceptually useful although probably impossible.

Really I need much more of the text to work out what he is talking about and I am sure you are totally missing the point.

Yes I saw your message I have some background reading I need to do will be a few days.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
