Instead Tom Robert confirms what I wrote.

I report below what he wrote.

"The dominant multipole in the CMBR, as seen from earth, is the dipole, 
by several orders of magnitude. This dipole, of course, can be removed 
by simply moving inertially at the proper velocity, which near earth is 
about 370 km/sec relative to the sun, towards the constellation Leo. In 
that frame, the CMBR is isotropic to ~20 parts per million."

In fact, Tom Robert states that once the dipole anisotropy has been 
removed, the CMBR is isotropic except for about 20 parts per million.
And I have basically written that without the dipole anisotrophy, I 
consider CMBR isotropic and, therefore, I do not take into account the 
slight anisotropies (20 ppm), above all because, "they do not affect the 
present theory and, therefore, for simplicity will not always be 
considered in this paper".

Rather strong words against Poincaré. My own recollection is that Poincare
spent his last productive years (i.e. up to approx. 1910) working on problems
of celestial mechanics, a field in which he had earlier made fundamental
contributions, including the first identification of what is now recognized
as chaotic behavior, in his study of three body systems in the 1880s. 

A quick scan of a couple of Poincare bibliographies accessible to me (via online
university library access) reveals no obvious publication which could be used 
to support your assertion that he "insisted to his own death (in 1912) that his
modified version of Lorentz’ ether theory (1905) had more merit than SR."

I do not doubt that he preferred his own interpretation of LET, but I do not
find evidence that he publicly denounced SR "to his own death" in the manner
of a crackpot.

Clarification: In such publications as "The New Mechanics" (posthumously 
published in English translation in 1913) Poincare writes using a dynamical
interpretation of LET, but the manner in which he presents the material is far
from crackpot. As I have indicated elsewhere, Poincare was a conventionalist,
and the method of description that he adopted represented what was *for him*
a simpler and more natural presentation of the same physical phenomena.

The original French of "The New Mechanics" was "La dynamique de l’électron", Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées 19: 386–402 (1908)

Sure it is. That's what that acronym means around here.

The Lorentz Ether Theory is experimentally indistinguishable from 
Special Relativity, even though it is based on completely different 
principles (some of which are quite arbitrary). In particular, LET 
assumes a completely unobservable ether, which cannot be observed by any 
experiment whatsoever. That makes it unpalatable to most physicists.

Lorentz acknowledged that Einstein's approach was much better.

No, it is not.

It may be what *you* mean, but not what it *usually* means:

,-<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_ether_theory>
| 
| What is now often called Lorentz ether theory (LET) has its roots in 
| Hendrik Lorentz's "theory of electrons", which was the final point in the 
| development of the classical aether theories at the end of the 19th and at

No doubt about that.

Strange -- you say "No, it is not" and then quote an article that agrees 
with what I said: LET refers to the Lorentz Ether Theory.

LET is experimentally indistinguishable from SR, but is not at all the 
same theory, or an "interpretation" of SR.

LET is the Lorentz Ether Theory (named *after* Lorentz),
but _not_ *Lorentz’* ether theory.

Note the difference, and try to read my statements in context next time.

Such linguistic nuances are ridiculous -- you attempt to make a

You are wrong.  Read the quotation from Wikipedia *again*:

| What is now often called Lorentz ether theory (LET) has its roots in

LET (1905+) *differs* from “Lorentz’(s) ether theory” as referred to in this 
thread (1892 to 1904) in several respects.  For example, like SR does using 
other means, only LET includes a physical explanation for “local time” and 
the proper equation for the transformation of the temporal coordinate, 
because those were introduced by Poincaré on 1905-06-05, and found 
independently (and based on other concepts) by Einstein in OEoMB 
(1905-06-30).

I haven't made a special study of LET, so please feel free in the following to
correct me on what I presume will be a fair number of misconceptions about LET.

Precede every numbered statement below with an implicit "as I understand it 
(not having actually studied the topic.)" 

Would an appropriate abbreviation/acronym be AIUI(NHASTT)?

1) LET is an extension of Lorentz's Theory of the Electron, but was never 
   actually articulated by Lorentz.
2) The term "electron" in Lorentz's day meant something very different from 
   the current usage of the term. The nearest I can figure is that "electron"
   is more or less synonymous with "matter". Other subatomic particles were
   unknown. The proton (hydrogen nucleus) wasn't discovered until 1920, and 
   the neutron wasn't discovered until 1932.
3) The term "aether" in Lorentz's Theory of the Electron specifically refers
   to a luminiferous aether, through which light propagates.
4) Although gravitation was known as a force, the concept of gravitational
   waves was [virtually] unknown. 
5) Strong and weak forces were unknown.
6) It is manifestly impossible that a single aether could serve simultaneously 
   to propagate electromagnetic, gravitational, strong and weak forces/waves.
7) LET would demand four different aethers: 
    a) luminiferous (electromagnetic) aether (LA)
    b) gravitational aether (GA)
    c) strong aether (SA)
    d) weak aether (WA)
8) The properties of LA, GA, SA and WA must be fine-tuned to match each other
   to an improbable degree.
    a) They all must exhibit the same limiting speed: c_LA = c_GA = c_SA = c_WA
    b) The Lorentz transformation also applies to all four aethers, although 
       a priory there is no logical reason within the context of LET why this 
       must be so.  
9) If LA, GA, SA and WA were not fine-tuned to match each other, then high
   speed particles would literally rip themselves to shreds.

Because of the improbable amount of fine-tuning necessary to make LET work,
LET is ugly and irrational. Without this arbitrary fine-tuning, LET predicts
effects that are totally contrary to experimental result.

To Lorentz, "electron" means charged matter. He wrote several times that he 
makes no assumptions about its constituency, specifically whether it is 
continuous or particulate.

Yes, and which supports electromagnetic fields.

Yes to both. LET applies only to electromagnetism.

Yes to all, though in (7) this is an "enhanced LET"; LET itself applies only to 
electromagnetism. Today it simply is not possible to construct a self-consistent 
theory based on LET, without outrageous fine-tuning among the various ethers. 
The only way modern physicists would consider such a theory is if an EXPERIMENT 
directly demonstrated some property of the ether -- but LET itself predicts that 
is impossible.

> LET is ugly and irrational. Without this arbitrary fine-tuning, LET predicts

In this last sentence you mean "LET as enhanced to include the other known 
interactions", because LET applies only to electromagnetism. Today LET is 
strictly the province of cranks and idiots who think relativity is somehow 
"wrong"; nobody who understands the issues considers it viable at all. The fact 
that it is experimentally indistinguishable from SR makes it irrelevant (except 
as an historical footnote).

That is too simple.

The electron was discovered as a particle (though not in the QM sense, of 
course) by J. J. Thomson (Nobel Prize in Physics 1909) and his team in 1896, 
in cathode-ray experiments.

Based on that, Thomson was also the first to suggest in 1897 that the atom 
was divisible (by contrast to the original meaning of the term: /ατοµοσ/ 
[atomos = a + tomos] “the indivisible”): he called, what we now call 
“particles”, “primordial atoms” and “corpuscles”, and electrons would be the 
corpuscles in the “chemical atom” that carry the negative charge (plum 
pudding model, later shown to be incorrect by his student, Ernest 
Rutherford).

Lorentz postulated his ether theory first in 1892, and in it he suggested 
the possibility of an electron (it was his theory of electrodynamics, after 
all).  (He was not the first to do that.)  He refined his theory repeatedly 
in subsequent years (e.g. in 1899), also in light of Thomsons experimental 
results on the mass of that newfound particle.

Cite evidence.  The first sentence of the translation of his 1898 paper 
“Simplified theory of electrical and optical phenomena in moving systems” 
(easily found with Google Scholar) is:

| small charged *particles* or ions, […]

I never knew that. That makes sense.

In 1904, the most popular model of atoms considered that negative electrons
floated in a cloud of uniform positive charge (plum pudding model). 

Nowhere have I seen it stated explicitly, but the assumption must have been
made that this cloud of positive matter must follow the same transformation
rules as electrons, otherwise motions through the aether should have 
detectable effects. But the experiments of Rayleigh and Brace (1902, 1904),
and the Trouton-Noble experiment (1901-1903) detected no material strains 
associated with the motion of matter through space.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trouton%E2%80%93Noble_experiment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_of_Rayleigh_and_Brace

Since uncharged matter was unknown, the negative constituents of matter plus
the positive constituents of matter equals -all- matter. But Lorentz's papers
referred only to "electrons". Hence my uncertainty about what he really 
meant by the term.

Sure it is. That's what that acronym means around here. 

The Lorentz Ether Theory is experimentally indistinguishable from 
Special Relativity, even though it is based on completely different 
principles (some of which are quite arbitrary).

I think what you guys are missing is 

When ever comparing (one mass structure in its own reference Frame) to (another mass structure in its own reference Frame), the Coordinate Systems are exactly Inverse of each other...... canceling

Essentially (particle a in Aether Frame a) is observing (particle /a in Aether Frame /a)

The 2 Inverse Aether frames cancel & eliminate

It is a möbius transformation 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZUUbrWTGSyXZt5bc2



 In particular, LET 
assumes a completely unobservable ether, which cannot be observed by any 
experiment whatsoever. That makes it unpalatable to most physicists. 

Lorentz acknowledged that Einstein's approach was much better.
