“…Certainly, one wants to be able to say what it would mean if the experiment on dispersing QSO light gave a positive result. Now that the serious doubts cast by infrared observations on the thermal nature of the cosmic microwave background are abated, 5 it seems particularly fruitful to explore the Bahcall-Salpeter hypothesis as applied to this radiation.…”
The blackbody form of the 2.7° cosmic microwave radiation appears to be inconsistent with variation of Planck's constant by as much as 10% since the epoch z ~ 1000.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
