THE microwave radiation discovered by Penzias and Wilson1 fitted into the theory of the big-bang universe proposed by Gamow2 and Dicke et al.3, which predicts a residual radiation with a temperature of ~ 3° K from the cooling of the primordial radiation. Measurement of the strength of the microwave radiation at different wavelengths4 and the inferred strength at 2.3 mm fitted the blackbody curve with a temperature of 2.7° K (Fig. 1). Supporters of the steady state universe5,6, however, are contesting this interpretation and suggest that the radiation may be the result of the superposition of ``sources'' or the scattering of source radiation by ``dust grains''. At present, there are no direct experimental measurements of microwave radiation below a wavelength of 7 mm to show that the radiation is either a blackbody radiation of temperature 2.7° K or the type predicted by Narlikar and Wickramasinghe6. In this report I shall derive upper limits on the intensity of the microwave radiation below a wavelength of 1.7 mm using cosmic ray data to indicate the nature of the radiation.
