An interesting question came up on an unlikely mailing list. We observe
that the wavelength of the background radiation has decreased as the
universe has expanded. This implies loss of energy does it not?
Where is that energy going and what is the vehicle of interchange.
Photons don't emit photons and energy transfer must be quantized
according to QM. (John Baez, I would particularly appreciate a
response from you)
