EEM, Ari, CC: paul schroeder's ATM idea, as presented in this thread, is not just any old infinite, static universe. He has made some quite specific statements concerning the expected microwave background, based on specific aspects of his idea. However, it's not clear to me why - assuming the specific details he presents - that microwave background should not be infinite ... hence my question.

If you, or any other reader, can explain what the expected microwave background should be - based on the specific details of the ATM idea, as presented - by all means do so.

Otherwise ...
