Scientific paper

In a recent article [1] M.A. Oliver argues there is a conflict between Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and Cosmology. In ascertaining this conflict (see below), Oliver finds allies in Bergmann [2] and Bondi [3]. To resolve this conflict, he proposes to restore “the classical (mechanical) concepts of space and time” [1, p.666] and an absolute rest-frame. I shall devote a few words ( 1) to the Principle of Relativity and ( 2) to the notion of cosmic time in cosmology; this enables me ( 3) to argue that the alleged conflict between STR and Cosmology is based on a misunderstanding of the Principle of Relativity. ( 4) Finally I take a critical look at Oliver's allies.
