There's nothing "absolute" about the CMB. It's just a widely

What does "absolute" mean?
It would mean that the laws of physics were special in some sense, e.g.
took a special form, in an /absolutely/ stationary state.
It sure seems as absolute as anyone can imagine; the same everywhere
in the universe. AG
No. It's just something that can be used as a reference, as could any
other frame in inertial motion. And it's not even a perfect reference
since some parts move relative to others.

Since the CMBR defines a frame of absolute rest, how does this
effect Special Relativity, if at all? AG
