Re: The size of the universe

There is a tendency in science fiction to see alien life as similar to Earth life. Intelligent life is again similar to us. The problem is that alien life may be profoundly different on just a molecular level. On Earth there are three major branches of multicellular life, animals, plants and

Maxwell's Equations and Black Body radiation

When one solves ME's, one gets continuous wave solutions. But somehow they give the wrong prediction for BB radiation. The correct solution requires quantizing the energy packets into discrete packets of energy. But prior to the advent of QED, in 1900, how did Planck incorporate this
