what is the value for our solar constant?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Solar radiation drops with the square of the distance. If we have 1.3kW/m^2 at 1 AU, we have 13W at 10 AU, and so on.

This should allow you to calculate the intensity at the Kuiper belt.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
