That is, BTW, the blackbody curve which relates how much engery at a given frequency an object of temperature T emits. Solving that problem was impossible in the 18th century and took the invention of the photon and quantized energy states, setting the tone for almost all the physics of the 20th century.
I'm an unrepentant atheist with a background in science, math and technology. By education, an astronomer, by training, a cryptographer, by profession, a technology specialist. While people tend to peg me as "left" I don't really know what they mean. I'm for small government, low taxes and I believe that the right to swing my fist ends before your face. I distrust anything the government says no matter what party is in power, although I must admit to having worked for the government (ours and others).
