Abstract
The amplitudes of peaks in the angular power spectrum of anisotropies in th e microwave background radiation depend on the mass content of the universe . The second peak should be prominent when cold dark matter is dominant but is depressed when baryons dominate. Recent microwave background data are c onsistent with a purely baryonic universe with Omega(m) = Omega(b) and Omeg a(A) approximate to 1.
