dc.description.abstract |
It is pointed out that the total amount of microwave radiation that could possibly be generated by all the graphite needles in space would be considerably smaller than the observed total energy of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The question of relevant optical depth of the cloud containing the needles has been examined. It is found that the optical depth is not sufficiently large for the cloud to radiate like a black body. |
