Re: Cosmic Background Radiation

David, you're not addressing the issue. What you wrote was wrong.

No one is placing the Earth in a special position, and it does matter
what the acceleration proifile of an astronaut leaving Earth has, (as
to
deciding how he views the CMBR) . In the case of the thought
experiment, the average acceleration is determined by the fact that the
astronaut must land on the planet that has a (distance x H) velocity
away fom Earth, so it is obvious that the final velocity of the
astronaut relative to Earth at the time of any observation must be
(distance x H). This (distance x H) velocity relative to Earth is the
determining factor as to whether any observer anywhere in the Universe
will see CMBR as uniform.

This determining factor of whether an observer will see a uniform CMBR
does not HAVE to be a (distance x H) velocity away from EARTH. It can
be a (distance x H) velocity away from ANY point in space where an
observer at that point sees the background as also uniform .Actually
more than one reference point would be better of course. Earth is just
a convenient point of reference. (Here, this is, of course,
disregarding the small shift of the CMBR that is observed from Earth).

No, I'm sorry David, you're wrong.
...
It is not that George is eloquent, it is that he's right.

I have not disagreed with George. And you are moving your lips
so fast that you cannot see it.

Enjoy.
