Black-body temperature of a closed Universe

Abstract

In a closed gravitationally-bound Universe we are subject to an inward accelerationa ₀. One consequence of this acceleration is that matter will radiate and create a black-body spectrum throughout the Universe. Using the valuea ₀=7.623×10⁻¹² ms⁻² and a radiation formula from a previously-described cosmological model (Wåhlin, 1981), we obtain a black-body temperature of 2.766 K.
