    I think they’re trying to say, it can be considered to be a non-accelerated reference frame, where stuff like planets and stars would be accelerated.

    Though I have a problem in understanding how it could be taken as a reference frame in the first place.

      Indeed, it can’t be a reference frame, as even if it’s not accelerated, it’s everywhere, so it doesn’t have a position or orientation.

        Not only that, it’s not even a single object. It’s just the name given to a group of radiation, which is ultimately just light going randomly here and there.
