The mean free path for cosmic ray protons between Compton interactions with microwave background photons has been calculated to be 1.4 times 10 to the 10th power light years. This distance is close to the accepted value of the Hubble radius and this coincidence is structurally distinct from those discussed by Dirac (1937). Matter and radiation interacting once every Hubble radius may have some fundamental significance.
