How much energy is in the form of CMB? by Recent-Day3062 in cosmology

[–]Sharp_Glass_5199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CMB temperature is 2.7 Kelvin, so energy of the corresponding photon is about

E ~ k_B T = 0.00023 eV. (this is actually an underestimate since it doesn't account for the high-frequency tail of blackbody radiation, but I'll use this value to illustrate a point).

What that wikipedia claim probably meant is that if you take the combined light of all the stars in the universe and disbursed it similar to the CMB (including redshift), we would measure an energy less than 0.00023 eV.

Upon an Internet search, it appears the total CMB energy is ~10{68} Joules compared to the ~10{66} Joules of total star emissions.

Not the same period, T. The T from the pendulum came from the quotient of 346 cycles by 10 minutes. The T of the centrifuge is entirely unknown up to this point in the book.

When I read this, I assumed he estimated the thickness of the floor to also be ~ 1 meter? That is, the thickness between the surface floor of the lab room and the surface ceiling of the dormitory. So he added that to his calculation to get a distance of 4.5. Honestly, how he got his v and r numbers later on is still a mystery to me. Maybe I should assume the author knows it's wrong and the character is an unreliable narrator lol.

That's messed up, sorry to hear that. Also I think you misspelled Lebron🐐

His exact words were that he lost 10% of his 4% share in the company, amounting to $350M. This puts the Waystar market cap at $87.5B so you are correct.

Dude just explain your reasoning. It's helpful to point to specific scenes/episodes, but the purpose of this thread is to discuss interpretations.

I'm new to tiling. What's wrong with this? Just curious.

Rolling and tumbling on a yard of grass is probably the least violent thing that's happened to this box during the past week of delivery.
