Dear Friends
A fleet of spaceships is given, each equipped with a differential microwave radiometer,
just like COBE was, whose detectors are antipodeanly pointing (this way one should catch
blue shifted radiation and the other one red shifted). Could their acquisitions be used to
establish a reference frame locally (!) motionless respect the cosmic microwave background ?
Supposing a such reference frame does exist, is there any reason to think it's an inertial one ?
Best wishes.
