Scientific paper

Woody and Richards (1979) have reported new measurements of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) out to 40/cm and noted deviations from a simple blackbody law which are significant at the 5 sigma level. It is shown in the present paper that these deviations can be explained by a nontrivial isotropic angular momentum in the CBR. Such angular momentum would impart angular momentum to galaxies on absorption and could contribute to an amount significant for their evolution.
