Description
Summary:The problem of background radiation in homogeneous isotropic world models due to radiation emitted by extragalactic nebulae is considered in more detail and greater generality than seems to have been attempted previously. In chapter I a brief historical survey is made of former theoretical and empirical attempts to determine the cosmical background radiation in both the optical and radio regions of the spectrum.
