Jon --

It's a mystery to me.  I believe they are simply counting the number of spectral lines at each wave number and plotting the histogram.  And the link is between the now and the very long ago.  And I believe there's no reason to expect this histogram to have any particular distribution at all?  It's just a weird result.

Roger,

I get the sense that this is a link between the very small

and the very large, but I am far from being a physicist.

Could you say more about this result?
