Errors in the paper "Black-body laws derived from a minimum knowledge of Physics" are described. The paper claims that the density of the thermal current in any number of spatial dimensions is proportional to the temperature to the power of 2(n-1)/(n-2), where n represents the number of spatial dimensions. However, it is actually proportional to the temperature to the power of n + 1. The source of this error is in the claim that the known formula for the fine-structure constant is valid for any number of spatial dimensions, and in the subsequent error that the physical dimensions of Planck's constant become dependent on n.
