Can the CMB Reference Frame be Changed in the Newtonian Friedmann Equation?

In summary: CMB). The difference in temperatures we observe (the red/blue shift @mfb mentioned) due to our relative velocity to the CMB and so the corresponding anisotropy is of δTT∼10−3 \frac{\delta T}{T} \sim 10^{-3}. That means that the "wind" you will feel is pretty weak... from the one side you measure a temperature 2.724K and from the other you measure 2.726K.

I know that in physics we can change referance frame.The Newtonian Friedmann equation is
##H^2-{8πGp /3}={-k/a^2}##
I know that this equation derived from CMB referance frame.Now can we change this referance frame ?
(And If you can give me an article about this issue I will be very happy,I need exact proof)
Thanks

In a different reference frame, the universe is not homogeneous and isotropic any more. The parameters H and a do not make sense there (unless you transform back to the CMB frame but then you gained nothing).

How can you proof that idea ? Is there any article about that issue ?
I didnt understand something If universe is homogeneous and isotropic how can it be homogeneous and isotropic anymore when we change referance frame.
Homogeneous and isotropic things are relative ?
If its true Is there any picture which I can visulaize it ?
Thanks

Which one? The first statement is trivial.

If you are at rest relative to the atmosphere, it can be the same in every direction. If you move relative to the atmosphere, you feel wind coming from one direction. This is clearly non-isotropic.
The same applies to the CMB. If you move in one direction, you'll see photons coming from there blueshifted, while photons coming from the opposite side are redshifted.

That's too far stretched. The anisotropies are pretty small (of the order of the dipole CMB anisotropy we observe).

Who is right ?

@mfb is right. But what I say is that the break of isotropy is very small and gave the order of it (dipole anisotropy of the CMB). The difference in temperatures we observe (the red/blue shift @mfb mentioned) due to our relative velocity to the CMB and so the corresponding anisotropy is of ## \frac{\delta T}{T} \sim 10^{-3}##. That means that the "wind" you will feel is pretty weak... from the one side you measure a temperature 2.724K and from the other you measure 2.726K.

At the same time the relative velocity can affect the measuring of distances and so how we define the Hubble constant H: ##v=cz=Hd##. The deviation >=5% from this equation due to some extra reasonable velocity addition (v~350km/s) is affecting close distance galaxies (5Mpc or less). For larger distances the deviation is even less than 5% and that's why I said that it's far stretched.

Is that small affect will change Newtonian Friedmann equation (##H^2-{8πGp /3}={-k/a^2}##) ?

Is there will be an extra term v in Newtonian Friedmann equation you said ?

No it won't be so simple...the equation will just deviate a little from this form because the universe is not exactly isotropic and homogeneous, so the metric of the spacetime you will have to use must contain this information... This is not a Newtonian Friedmann Equation, although you might have come across its derivation from Newtonian dynamics arguments. The equation is a solution of the Einstein Field Equations (EFE) for the Friedmann Robertson Walker (FRW) metric. Since the metric will change a little (you can do that perturbatively I guess), this solution will also get some perturbative terms.

Are you sure about that ?? In my equation ##ρ=ρ_m+ρ_r+p_Λ## so that equation must be true and I assumed ##c=1##

ChrisVer said:

The derivation is ##1/2mv^2-MmG/r=U## and ##k=-U/2m##

The metric changes cause homogenity and isotrophy changes.And this affects FRW metric.Ok,but I want to keep things simple.So that's the reason I used NFE(Newtonian Friedmann Equation) NFE is much more simpler.This equation begins assuming homogenic and isotrophic universe.But we changed it.So our equation cannot be true anymore I understand.
Is there any book which I can learn these kind of things ?

The fact that the Newtonian arguments give you the right answer is just a coincidence. So it's not simple, it's oversimplification to the borders of false. Since this type of derivation is wrong, I don't think you can find any textbook that deals with this problem through Newtonian mechanics.

In Newtonian mechanics, if you would like for your problem not to be isotropic you would have to change the things that you initially took isotropic. For example the masses should have some directional arguments and the gravitational potential would be changed (the masses also get some radial dependence) because of inhomogeneity.

Why its wrong ? I think its good to proof the NFE.
I have textbook which do the same thing as me "derivation part".Maybe its not good to solve this problem using NFE equation but I think its enough to other solutions.

It's wrong because it gives the Friedmann equation by coincidence . The right way is to derive it from general relativity. The textbook you have probably is introductory or does not want to get into the details of derivations but talk about the results.
What you solved was a mechanical problem, and as such if you want to change the input you should expect different output.

Ok,I understand.thanks.In general relativity referance frame will affect universe type or ##Ω_k## isn't it ?

And I want to thank you so much.I think you are best teacher (I don't now you are a teacher or not ).Thank you and thank you again :smile::smile::smile::smile:.

I don't know... I guess the Friedman equations will need extra terms...

I'm not a teacher (thank god :biggrin:)

There is no point in setting up a FLRW-like metric for a reference frame that moves relative to the CMB. It is possible, sure, but things are so much easier if you use the CMB rest frame and transform everything later to predict your actual observations.

I have just curious what would be happen then..I learned NFE so I don't know GR -FRLW metric.I want to learn them so that's why I asked a textbook or something like that.

The GR problem is found in every GR textbook that contains cosmology.
Now it's just an exercise to get the RW metric from ##ds^2 = dt^2 - a^2(t) \Big(\frac{dr^2}{1-kr^2} + r^2 d \theta^2 + r^2 \sin^2 \theta d \phi^2 \Big)## and derive everything up to the Ricci scalar. It's better to move to comoving coordinates where the metric becomes ##ds^2 = dt^2 - a^2(t) (dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)## or ##g_{\mu \nu} = diag(1, -a^2(t),-a^2(t), -a^2(t) )##.
The Einstein equations are then:
## R_{\mu \nu} - \frac{1}{2} g_{\mu \nu} \mathcal{R} = 8 \pi GT_{\mu \nu} \Big(- \Lambda g_{\mu \nu} \Big)##
Where the ##R_{\mu \nu}## is the Ricci tensor, ##\mathcal{R}## is the Ricci scalar, ##T_{\mu \nu}## is the energy momentum tensor that takes the information of the matter content. In given coordinates it can be diagonal with elements the energy density ##\rho## and the momenta ##p##:
##T_{\mu \nu} = diag( \rho, p , p ,p)##.

You can have a look in S. Dodelson's textbook "Modern Cosmology" (whole chapter 2.1) since he demonstrates some derivations.

1. Can the CMB reference frame be changed in the Newtonian Friedmann equation?

The CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) reference frame is an important component in understanding the evolution and structure of the universe. In the Newtonian Friedmann equation, the CMB reference frame is fixed and cannot be changed.

2. Why is the CMB reference frame significant in the Newtonian Friedmann equation?

The CMB reference frame acts as a universal reference point for measuring the expansion of the universe. It is also used as a calibration tool for cosmological observations and measurements.

3. Is there any evidence that suggests the CMB reference frame can be changed?

No, there is currently no evidence to suggest that the CMB reference frame can be changed in the Newtonian Friedmann equation. The CMB has been extensively studied and its accuracy and consistency have been confirmed.

4. What would happen if the CMB reference frame could be changed in the Newtonian Friedmann equation?

If the CMB reference frame could be changed, it would significantly alter our understanding of the evolution and structure of the universe. It would require a major overhaul of the current cosmological models and theories.

5. Could future advancements in science potentially change the CMB reference frame in the Newtonian Friedmann equation?

It is highly unlikely that future advancements in science would change the CMB reference frame in the Newtonian Friedmann equation. The CMB has been extensively studied and its properties have been confirmed by multiple independent experiments.
