In 1859 Gustav Kirchhoff proved a theorem about blackbody radiation. A blackbody is an object that absorbs all the energy that falls upon it and, because it reflects no light, it would appear black to an observer. A blackbody is also a perfect emitter and Kirchhoff proved that the energy emitted E depends only on the temperature T and the frequency v of the emitted energy, i.e. E = J(T,v). He challenged physicists to find the function J. In 1879 Josef Stefan proposed, on experimental grounds, that the total energy emitted by a hot body was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In the generality stated by Stefan this is false. The same conclusion was reached in 1884 by Ludwig Boltzmann for blackbody radiation, this time from theoretical considerations using thermodynamics and Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The result, now known as the Stefan-Boltzmann law, does not fully answer Kirchhoff challenge since it does not answer the question for specific wavelengths. In 1896 Wilhelm Wien proposed a solution to the Kirchhoff challenge. However although his solution matches experimental observations closely for small values of the wavelength, it was shown to break down in the far infrared by Rubens and Kurlbaum. Kirchhoff, who had been at Heidelberg, moved to Berlin. Boltzmann was offered his chair in Heidelberg but turned it down. The chair was then offered to Hertz who also declined the offer, so it was offered again, this time to Planck and he accepted. Rubens visited Planck in October 1900 and explained his results to him. Within a few hours of Rubens leaving Planck's house Planck had guessed the correct formula for Kirchhoff's J function. This guess fitted experimental evidence at all wavelengths very well but Planck was not satisfied with this and tried to give a theoretical derivation of the formula. To do this he made the unprecedented step of assuming that the total energy is made up of indistinguishable energy elements - quanta of energy. He wrote Experience will prove whether this hypothesis is realised in nature Planck himself gave credit to Boltzmann for his statistical method but Planck 's approach was fundamentally different. However theory had now deviated from experiment and was based on a hypothesis with no experimental basis. Planck won the 1918 Nobel Prize for Physics for this work.

Yes no. I think the world is a bowl of cereal and we need instructions to make it. However I'd like to add that they formed even it possess much dish grain. shkslk

Naaah.

Yes it is (was) fun.

Probably yes.

This food tastes funny.

AFAIK GMAX doesn't have a rendering engine, it only makes models.

If that picture is real that guy is a total dumbass...

Umm yes Fileplanet is bad, it's the root of all evil.

Congratulations for reviving a thread created in November

Actually 1200, I said over 2000

Umm I'll celebrate you when you have over 2000 posts.

I like to whine about people whining about Oxygen.

Yes it was except for some minor bugs.

Yes I remember seeing it a long time ago...

Probably so Hey it's your birthday! Congratulations!

Hmm I thought it could only be installed over 1.45.

What happened to the sig ? If that was in OFP I'd put a few satchels in the middle of it

A built-in cheat code won't activate FADE.

I made an animation of the WNAF pictures. I'll only post the link because I know placebo doesn't like the posting of over 100k pictures. http://www.imagestation.com/picture....8df.gif

Satchels have more power than mines.

Forget.
