  The big bang hypothesis is widely accepted despite numerous physics
conflicts. It rests upon two experimental supports, galactic red shift and the
cosmic microwave background. Both are produced by dark matter, shown here to be
hydrogen dominated aggregates with a few percent of helium nodules. Scattering
from these non-radiating intergalactic masses produce a red shift that normally
correlates with distance. Warmed by our galaxy to an Eigenvalue of 2.735 K,
drawn near the Earth, these bodies, kept cold by ablation, resonance radiate
the Planckian microwave signal. Several tests are proposed that will
distinguish between this model and the big bang.
