Ultraviolet Catastrophe

from Cthonicist · host Svetlovska

A problem in classical physics: a crude estimate of the light that objects radiate due to heat, known as black body radiation, showed objects keep radiating into the ultraviolet spectrum in an amount that, added up, would be infinite. The discovery of quantum effects resolved the issue. Created and mixed live with apps in AUM on IPad, principally Lunar Lander, StepPolyArp and iSEM, sequencing by Atom. Doom drum by Sidekick. No keyboards were harmed in the making of this.
