Oh! Oh! I have a question.

Electron changes valence levels....and emits a photon. Paul Dirac had a lot to say about that.

What has me stumped is: what is the mechanism? Why do electrons do that? Is it simply enough to say, well, they just do.

Which leads me to my next question: condsider E=cv (energy of a photon is directional proportional to its frequency )

Where did all the energy of the (very high frequency) photons from the big-bang go? since they have apparently now cooled to very low frequency in the CBR !!!
