Relativistic Spaceship

I'm really not trying to sound condescending here, but your maths is WAY off. Where did you get 384.6 TW from? Your actual source says

   The power output or luminosity of the Sun is 3.8 x 10^26 W

For reference that's 3.8 x 10^14 TW - so your little AI friend is a cool 12 orders of magnitude off here.

Bottom line: do NOT rely on figures provided by generative models. The chance of them being completely wrong seems to be alarmingly high.

thank you, you are indeed right. To wit (for people like me) - 3.8 x 10^26 W 3.8 x 10^23 kW 3.8 x 10^20 MW 3.8 x 10^17 GW 3.8 x 10^14 TW
