Satellites have max 20 watts transmit!
Turns out that due to limitations in power gathering, etc. satellites transmit power is only about 20 watts! That is true even for deep space probes which have already breached the limits of the solar system.
Wow.
Imagine being able to see a 20 watt light bulb at Saturn from here.

As of April 2018, there were 548 satellites, listed as being in geosynchronous Earth orbit. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_satellites_in_geosynchronous_orbit) There were 1886 satellites in orbit, as of the same time frame(April 2018). (https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/space-weapons/satellite-database#.XA0iunRKg1J) Slightly over one third is NOT, "most"(at least not in THIS universe). |
Convert you to what, a beam of dark? Can you tell me, whether the universe, is one in need of dark matter, to reach a mathematical equilibrium, just one in a multiverse, or(lately) a hologram, created through information generated by vibrating strings? All the prior vastly simplified, of course. I really thought it was funny, when they expected the weight of the Higgs Boson, to lend credence to either of the first two of the theories and it weighed pretty much dead center of the two expected parameters. I’m simply pointing out that no one can tell me, with certainty(YET), much of anything, regarding this universe. Everyone can’t be correct, can they? It’s not that I can’t be convinced. Just difficult to, given the possibilities. I didn’t intend to turn this thread into another soap. Won’t happen again(I may have said that before). Just trying to have some fun in here(for a change) and it backfired. |
There are just too many universes to keep up with(well, theories, anyway). I’m still deciding whether to color, name and arrange my quarks, then fire a few hadrons into each other and weigh the bosons, or just pluck my cosmic strings, vibrate up a nice, informational hologram and entangle myself the hell out of here. Trying to contemplate, at what speeds the very first matter/energy, whatever form it may have taken, and how that would have affected, "time", since there is no time, at the speed of light(Relativity, of course, IF that was relevant, in the beginning, however THAT looked), will just have to take the back seat......oh, wait....I threw my brain back there, somewhere. You think Macky might be whacky? Could be, by cracky! |
Some interesting points(a verbatim quote), regarding, "the edge of the universe"(including theory/opinion/speculation, of course), from the source linked: "Because space is expanding, it’s possible for the galaxies to appear as if they are moving faster than light, without violating relativity — which says that nothing can go faster than light in a vacuum. The actual size of the observable universe is 46 billion light-years in any direction, even though the universe began only 13.8 billion years ago, Mack said. But that still sets a limit on the size of the universe humans can see, called the observable universe. Anything outside of that radius of 46 billion light-years is not visible to Earthlings, and it never will be. That’s because the distances between objects in the universe keep getting bigger at a rate that’s faster than the light beams can get to Earth. And on top of that, the rate of expansion has not been uniform. For a brief fraction of a second after the Big Bang, there was a period of accelerated expansion called inflation, during which the universe grew at a much faster pace than it is growing now. Whole regions of space will never be observable from Earth for that reason. Mack noted that assuming inflation happened, the universe is actually 1023 times bigger than the 46 billion light-years humans can see. So if there is an edge to the universe, it’s so far away Earthlings can’t see it, and never will." [Big Bang, Deflated?
