I thought the universe was analogue!:)

>>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.

But really, they are the same property, just inversely related. As the shorter the the distance between two crests of the wave (wavelength) the more crest-to-crest portions of the wave will exist (frequency).

Unless time is dialating proportionally to increase in wavelength - then it would appear (or would be!) at the same frequency. The ruler would elongate at the same rate that the King's foot was.

>When we increase the wavelength, in the same amount of space the wave repeats less, so it has a lower frequency. Since frequency is 1/time then it is the inverse of time. So, yes, as the time goes up, so does the wavelength.

>What Planck and Einstein were able to tell us is that light works like this wave, and it delivers its energy in a single wavelength "chunk" called "quantum." The energy a wave delivers is always one quantum (the value "h" which is Planck's constant), two quanta (2h), three quanta (3h) or N quanta (Nh) where N is a positive integer.
