- Terretta 11y ago> This event was the equivalent of three of our suns turned into pure energy. "The collision unleashed the energy of a billion trillion Suns in a fraction of a second."
- ascorbic 11y agoThat's the energy emitted by a billion trillion Suns. The total energy being equivalent to three Suns turned into pure energy.
- bcook 11y agoYeah, but that was for a message sent across a distance of ~1 billion light-years. I naively assume that shorter distances would require less energy.
