Abstract: In this contribution, we model the Solar radiant heat as waves obeying the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The Solar radiant heat is reflected on the termination shock (TS) back towards to the Solar System. The geometry of the TS is known from the recent data of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. This reflected radiant heat might create the observed excess microwave background (MB) in heated thermal telescopes (e.g., the Holmdel horn antenna). This model can be easily experimentally falsified in the spirit of Karl Popper by measuring the microwave background monopole, the microwave background dipole, and the small heat fluctuations coming from the sound waves in the TS shock and not uniform distribution of particles in the TS. This proposed experiment can be realized by the existing technology in the Solar System between the Sun and the termination shock.
