Hence, it is impossible to describe the path of the car in the above example with respect to some absolute space.

The faster something moves, the slower time passes for it, but doesn't this prove something is moving which indicates absolute space?
23.
:Anyway, in no sense is it true that Newtonian physics had absolute space in it and special relativity did away with that.
24.
Describing a system with respect to an absolute space does not make much sense because an absolute space, if it exists, is unobservable.

This idea survived in a refined version as Newton's theory of absolute space, which met the logical requirements of attributing reality to not-being.
27.
An early experimenter of X-rays, Miller was an advocate of aether theory and absolute space and an opponent of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
28.
It's a wild guess like asserting that the solar system is stationary in absolute space ( something which Newton probably believed to be true ).
29.
Relationist physicists such as John Baez and Carlo Rovelli have criticised the leading unified theory of gravity and quantum mechanics, string theory, as retaining absolute space.
30.
These notions imply that absolute space and time do not depend upon physical events, but are a backdrop or stage setting within which physical phenomena occur.
