“Scientists Found The Number of Photons Produced by All The Stars in The Universe....number approaches the national debt.”
"I'll wait for the movie"
the Universe’s stars had produced 4x1084
...
Not bad. I had 4.1 x 10^84 in the office pool.
Creationists disagree.
And it is contributing to climate change. BLOCK THE STARLIGHT NOW!
“While travelling through space, gamma rays can be absorbed through interactions with starlight photons. And if there are many starlight photons, there will be more absorptions; so we can count the number of absorptions that we see to understand the density of the starlight of the photon field between us and the gamma ray source.” Using nine years’ worth of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Ajello and his team analysed the light from 739 blazars (strong gamma-ray sources) throughout the Universe to determine the rate of absorption into the extragalactic background light (EBL), the Universe’s accumulated background radiation. This gave them the density of starlight photons in the EBL - and, because the blazars are at different distances, they were able to do so across a range of time periods. Once they accounted for and subtracted light from other sources, such as the glowing accretion discs around supermassive black holes, they could multiply this density by the volume of the Universe to arrive at the number of photons produced by stars since the beginning of time.

It’s really cool how scientists can figure out how to measure some things.
That would be one hell of a light bill.
A mere sputtering candle compared to the beaming light of intelligence lasering out from the smartest womyn in the world.
I think they missed by a couple of zeros...../ S
The science is settled!
Who cares?
“...as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”
But haven’t more photons been produces since this article was written?
And where did those photons all go?
I’ve got a couple in my dresser drawer that they didn’t count. They were a birthday present from my weird aunt. I actually wanted a bicycle.
Scientist? (...count all the bees in the hive...la...la...la)
separate the light from the darkness
Start your premise, hypothesis, career with an unknown, then proceed as govt grants (other peoples money) allow.
I aint gonna read it because it was flawed at its inception. Kinda (exactly) like that Globull Warming/Man Made Climate Change thingy.
LOL. No taxpayer’s money funded the study, right ? Somewhere women and children will benefit, right ? Would have been better if the money had gone to valley of kings exploitation of Mars instead of funding lies
