Default When the station comes to the train

When asked about his relativity Einstein said:
When the station comes to the train.

But only the train is moving through space.
Only the train accelerates(experiences weight).
The station does not move through space to
get closer to the train.

So I say moving through space is an absolute.
And the motion of the station is only a relative one.

Relatives exist only in potential to absolutes.

Einstein never said "everything is relative."
He considered it a bad name. And said he almost
called it "invariance" theory!
