Do oceans produce the cosmic microwave background?


A guy who has a career in medical physics named Pierre-Marie Robitaille argues in two recently published papers in “Progress in Physics”, that the CMB is not from the big bang but from the oceans.


The first paper is entitled WMAP: A Radiological Analysis. This work analyzes the WMAP images based on accepted standards for image acquisition and processing. It demonstrates that it is not appropriate to evaluate cosmological parameters based on measurements from either WMAP or COBE.


In the second paper, evidence is presented for the reassigment of the CMB to the oceans of the Earth. This work demonstrates that the Earth cannot be modeled as a 285K source as the COBE team assumes. This is postulated by a third paper authored by Dmitri Rabounski, a Russian theoretical physicist in "The Relativistic Effect of the Deviation between the CMB Temperatures Obtained by the COBE Satellite".



Robitaille also claims that Kirchhoff's law of thermal emission is invalid and this recent video is of him claiming that Penzias and Wilson measured water on Earth.


These people also base their case on 2 questions: (1) When you put a glass of water inside a microwave oven and turn it on does the water in the glass reflect the microwaves or does it absorb them? (2) Is a powerful absorber of microwaves also a powerful emitter thereof?


Can anyone debunk and address these claims?
