Satellites have max 20 watts transmit!


Just saw this statistic in a NASA video about the Deep Space Array.
Turns out that due to limitations in power gathering, etc. satellites transmit power is only about 20 watts! That is true even for deep space probes which have already breached the limits of the solar system.

Wow.

Imagine being able to see a 20 watt light bulb at Saturn from here.

I dunno who that dude is but he’s way out of whack with what we actually know about the universe. Hey, Mack rhymes with Whack. Coincidence?

To whit,

In physical cosmology, the age of the universe is the time elapsed since the Big Bang. The current measurement of the age of the universe is 13.799±0.021 billion (109) years within the Lambda-CDM concordance model.[1][2]

and,

In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation, is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe. The inflationary epoch lasted from 10−36 seconds after the conjectured Big Bang singularity to sometime between 10−33 and 10−32 seconds after the singularity. Following the inflationary period, the universe continues to expand, but at a less rapid rate.[1]

(The expression 10-36 is equal to 10 to the minus 36 power.)



There are just too many universes to keep up with(well, theories, anyway). I’m still deciding whether to color, name and arrange my quarks, then fire a few hadrons into each other and weigh the bosons, or just pluck my cosmic strings, vibrate up a nice, informational hologram and entangle myself the hell out of here. Trying to contemplate, at what speeds the very first matter/energy, whatever form it may have taken, and how that would have affected, "time", since there is no time, at the speed of light(Relativity, of course, IF that was relevant, in the beginning, however THAT looked), will just have to take the back seat......oh, wait....I threw my brain back there, somewhere. You think Macky might be whacky? Could be, by cracky! 
Uh, the time to the beginning of the universe is known within +- .021 billion years. That does not (rpt not) leave much room for doubt. That’s not what we usually call a theory. Look, this isn’t rocket science. 🚀 No reason to act snowed. ❄️
Didn’t think you’d understand, since you believe in certainties. Don’t know why I tried!
Are you talking to me? Yes, I believe in certainties. At least for some things. I can philosophize too, but I don’t believe nothing can be proven or that there is no such thing as facts. Why, are you one of those guys that can’t be convinced of anything? Are you trying to..... convert me? 😳
