Planck thought this was a weird condition. It was soon seen (by Einstein) that this explains lots of other things too. The specific heat of a gas of hydrogen molecules, H2 is rather strange (= amount of energy to increase temperature by one degree)

explained by needing kT at least enough to equal the energy of translation, rotation, vibration of the molecule
