That's true for the laws of physics, yes, but our universe does have a 'natural' frame of reference. > A comoving observer is the only observer who will perceive the universe, including the cosmic microwave background radiation, to be isotropic. Non-comoving observers will see regions of the sky systematically blue-shifted or red-shifted. Thus isotropy, particularly isotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, defines a special local frame of reference called the comoving frame. The velocity of an observer relative to the local comoving frame is called the peculiar velocity of the observer. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_and_proper_distances#... |
