What vector and speed would be needed to "stop" dead in space? Once there, how would physics be perceived?

It's actually a law from the special theory of relativity known as the Principle of Relativity defined here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_relativity
There being no origin, and all motion being relative, you can consider yourself stationary and everything else to be in motion around you. The starting point of relativity (hence its name) is that physics is the same from the point of view of every observer, so we have to derive laws of physics that are invariant between moving observers.
............ Once there, how would physics be perceived?
So...nobody can answer my question, then.......
