I was under the impression us doesn't make sense to consider the idea of absolute position in space.

I don't think that's completely true. Details of the cosmic microwave background might indicate that we're at the center of the universe:

And besides the above, the CMB itself provides a 'natural absolute frame of reference' as it's the remnants of the very early universe.
