Asri-unix.915 net.space utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ARPAVAX:C70:sri-unix!JPM@SU-AI Sun Mar 7 03:30:54 1982 Variable C Our galaxy is moving with a definite velocity with respect to the background radiation which most believe to be from the Big Bang. This movement would seem to indicate that there IS a preferred reference frame in which to measure velocity, that is the one in which there is no relative motion with respect to the "location" of the Big Bang. Has anyone done any work along these lines, especially involving the consequences for the various theories of realitivity?
