Hi,
ok, this is neither correct in a mathematical nor in a scientific way but it still impresses me a lot.
Suppose we would know that the age of the universe is exactky 13.81E9 years.
Furthermore suppose the speed of light would be exactly 300e9m/s.
And suppose dark matter would not exist, the universe would be a perfect vaccum and had expanded with
the speed of light since the Big Bang (and forget about parallel universes, the Einstein/Rosen bridges, black holes,
white dwarfs, gravity waves and other minor annoyances...)
Then...
The accuracy of our beloved DM24 is be good enough to determine the circumfence of the universe at
this very moment down to a milimeter.
WHOW!
Cheers!
Meino
Impressive accuracy...

Must be talking about brown dwarfs. No major fusion, internal heat suffices for IR radiation only.keithdalby wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 9:28 pmThey're a thing. Really dense, but no fusion. Just residual heat radiated.

Except white dwarfs are hot enough to emit visible radiation, I guess. Working from memory here.Walter wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2017 9:37 pmMust be talking about brown dwarfs.

A white dwarf is a burned-out star that is too light to become a neutron star.

Thanks Thomas, just finished reading that now.
