I've had fun with similar concepts in the past, because just about everything is relative to something else. What happens when there is no something else to be relative to?

If you were magically transported to an empty universe, where you were the only thing in it that existed, the question of precisely where you were would be meaningless. So would how fast you were going if if you were in a spacecraft and gunned the engines to move, and the direction in which you were moving. (The fact that you were moving would have to be taken on faith, because there would be no way to measure and prove it.)

But in Hitch's case, I'd stick to color of sky. Electron spin would be rather beyond the client's knowledge.
