- evanb 5y agoThat’s just a back-of-the-envelope calculation. Nobody knows how to do a bone-fide calculation because we don’t have an accepted quantum theory of gravity.
- mcswell 5y agoI guess that's why they invented slide rules. I could get within 3 significant digits on a slide rule (and compute the exponent in my head), whereas I guess the margin of this envelope is too small to contain the calculation.
