The implications of the existence of a dense, hot, intergalactic plasma are discussed for friedman universes with a zero cosmological constant. The points of interest are the temperature of the intergalactic gas and the degree of ionization of its constituents. The soft X-ray emission of this dense intergalactic gas must be in agreement with the actual observations of isotropic X-ray background around 1–3 keV and 0.27 keV. Moreover the model cannot be in contradiction with the lack of Lyman α absorption in the emission spectra of the quasi-stellar objects.
