The DM viscosity dissipates energy and increases the DM temperature. We propose that the energy dissipation from the Viscous dark matter, can generate photons that populate the low energy tail of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. We argue that the produced photons are large enough to explain the anomaly in the 21 cm global signal observed by the EDGES collaboration.false21 cm cosmology | CMBR theory | dark matter | particle productionConference Paper18674941321-32720202cpConference Proceeding2
