Black holes are always irradiated by the cosmic background radiation. This captured radiation field determines the physical and geometrical nature of the singularity inside the black hole. We find that non-compact radiation fields (similar to the cosmic background radiation) affect dramatically the singularity, and may determine the fate of a falling astronaut. In particular, the dark energy which accelerates the expansion of the universe determines whether the "tunnel" inside the black hole is blocked, or whether the possibility of using the black hole as a portal for hyperspace travel cannot be ruled out as yet.

I review the assumptions and observations that motivate the concept of the extragalactic cosmic background radiation, and the issues of energy accounts and star formation history as a function of galaxy morphological type that figure in the interpretation of the measurements of the extragalactic infrared background.

Cosmic Background

Recent observations of the spectrum of the 3K cosmic background radiation (CBR) indicate that the CBR spectrum is consistent with a blackbody spectrum of T = 2.74 ±0.02K (Smoot et al. 1987). These measurements, however, were carried out in the Rayleigh-Jeans part of the spectrum, while theories predict spectral distortion in the Wien part. Therefore, we tried to observe the submillimeter spectrum of the CBR with a liq.He cooled radiometer onboard a sounding rocket. The experiment was a collaboration between Nagoya University and University of California, Berkeley.
