At this distance from the sun, how much would a copy weigh?
In other words, with what force (in Newtons, or Planck units, or dynes, or tons---your choice) would a copy be attracted if it were at Earth's average distance?
How about this? The Earth's speed, in its roughly circular orbit, is 10^-4.
So raise that to the fourth-----10^-16
That 10^-16 is the sun's weight in Planck units (c=G=hbar=1)
Do you believe that gives the correct answer, and if so, why?
