- The business about "inversion of statistics" for the blackbody radiation

- Glad to hear it seems bizarre to you too! Takagi writes: "This result has
- been confirmed by Unruh [24], and also found independently by Stephens

- As for the connection with Huygens' principle, he writes: "With some
- technical preparation, such as the KMS condition and the
- fluctuation-dissipation relation, one can show that this circumstance is
- closely related to the present problem of the apparent inversion of
- statistics [14,21]."
