Look who is talking Mr. the aether must exist and anyone who believes
otherwise is a fool.

Nope - the energy it has is from Noethers theorem applied to the EM
lagrangian FuvFuv and its density is E2 + H2/2pi (page 75 - Landau -
Classical Theory of Fields).

Since your assertion above is not correct the conclusion you inferred is
obviously erroneous - even if your logic was correct - which I doubt.

The COBE results are fully consistent with the assumption that during the
big bang the photons, that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, could be modeled
as a black body problem and gave a black body radiation spectrum. Such a
spectrum is fully derivable from and explainable by photons acting as a gas
that obeys Bose-Einstein statistics and has nothing to do with an aether.

Your proclaiming as fact beyond question rubbish like 'The density of
momentum is assumed to be 1/c^2 times the energy passing through unit area
per unit time' when in fact it is well known the energy an momentum of EM
fields comes from applying Noethers theorem to the EM lagrangian labels you
as the crackpot and crank you obviously are. I OTOH can cite standard
references to back up the refutations of the drivel you write. I suggest it
is you who has the bad manners and lack of a scientific attitude; a
conclusion I believe anyone with a brain who reads the incoherent drivel you
write will quickly reach.

It is easy to see those that claim scientific falsehoods as if they were
fact beyond question is the one not practicing science.

So the honors degree I have in science is all in my imagination then. As
well as the masters research I did on linking distribution theory and
non-standard analysis. I have also worked with a PhD candidate on data
analysis. You sir have absolutely know idea what my background is.

You believe science is making assertions not backed up by anything. I
believe science is being able to back my statements with citations to
standard literature.

Typical crank rantings.
