Not a tautology, it's a real value with real units. My point on making this kind of addition is to have people understand that Planck Units are in fact "Units". I think it's lost on a lot of people, and this is helpful way past the actual number given. Iy' Tags: Undo Reverted

I rewrote it to make it clear where the stars are being viewed from, and added hyperlinks for starlight and stars and Earth.

• curprev 18:2918:29, 6 April 2022 Em3rgent0rdr talk contribs 139,971 bytes +39 The previous statement was partly incorrect to say that the finite speed of light limits "data transfer" without specifying it is the **latency** that is limited, because data transfer bandwidth isn't limited by the speed of light. There is a joke in engineering that bandwidth is limited by money, not by physics, while it is specifically latency that is limited by physics. Also data transfer latency within a CPUs is also limited by speed of light, not just to memory. Tag: Visual edit
