Hi, Eroica,
My name is upriver.
Yes, I introduced this idea from a different paper as part of my argument against the optical thickness explanation for the solar blackbody spectrum.
Here;
http://www.bautforum.com/questions-a...in-plasma.html
Notice how quickly H
- was seized as the official explanation. There is no word of optical depth or 1/tau or 2/3 extinction depth in the explanation to Eroica.
Which would have been the official explanation(optical thickness) before I introduced the H
- explanation for the solar blackbody spectrum to BAUT forum on 10-June-2007, 11:38 PM.
I think I proved my point. Say thank you to the ATMer.
