The discussion revolves around the calculation of the unit 4.8912 × 10^12 m^2 kg/s^4, derived from multiplying hertz and watts. Participants clarify that this unit does not correspond to any known physical quantity, and it simplifies to Joules per second squared or Watts per second. The original poster intended to explore how far a photon could travel, but realized they lacked sufficient information for accurate calculations. It is noted that while dimensional analysis can yield interesting results, it may not provide definitive conclusions about physical phenomena. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexities and limitations of unit conversions in physics.
