There is a real and actual thing in physics called the Ultraviolet Catastrophe.

It's one of the reasons quantum mechanics was developed. The Rayleigh-Jeans classical picture of blackbody radiation predicted intensities approaching infinity for increasingly shorter wavelengths, but this is obviously nonsense. The catastrophe was the spiking of intensities around the UV region of the spectrum.

Enter Max Planck, and things got sorted out.

But that name is the best.

It's also the name of my fantasy hockey team.

Not to distract from the topic at hand, but I've always preferred Levi jeans to Rayleigh Jeans.

The Ultraviolet Catastrophe would have been a non-issue if they had just used the Heisenberg Compensators.

I almost had an Ultraviolet Catastrophe using a Van de Graaff Generator, but fortunately my Heisenberg Compensators saved the day.
