I found this site:
http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1/fall2001/lectures/universe/universe.html
(about halfway down page - but it is like a 101 review!

Here is a neat link:
http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/cosmos.htm

But I think I am looking for wiens law (this onee has the derivatives)
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/WiensDisplacementLaw.html

Wien suggests that as temperatures increase, the wave lenght shortens (higher frequency?). Somewhere in "First Three Minutes", if I recall correctly, Planck suggests the invers, as things cool, frequecy is reduced, and wave lengths increase. The author (i think) was using it (Planks constant) as a methos to gauge the age of the universe.


But is not what I wanted. Planck said something about the relationship between time and the wavelenghts of quanta. As time moves forward, the wavelengths increase.

Imagination is more important than knowledge
