3. [10pts] Since we humans are largely made of water, our bodies are efficient at absorbing cosmic microwave photons. Assume that you absorb all incident CMB photons. Heat ca- - 2- pacity of water is C = 4200 J kg-1 K-1. You may assume you weigh 100 kg and span a spherical volume of 1 m3 for simplicity. Clearly explain your line of logic. (a) Estimate the average number of CMB photons in a 1 m3 volume today. (b) Estimate at what rate your body temperature would change as a result of absorbing CMB photon energies. Should you be worried about overheating?
