Abstract
THE discovery of the isotropic cosmic background radiation in the universe1 and the subsequent demonstration by various groups of its blackbody spectrum have generally been taken to imply that the universe is of the type characterized by a big bang. Such models, containing both radiation and matter, have recently been examined in detail by McIntosh2 and Jacobs3.
