@androcat@toot.cat @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz is 1040 missing a ^, and is watts an abbreviation for Watt seconds?

@floriantfw@mathstodon.xyz It's a 1040 on my end, but it may be your instance doesn't parse it right. As for the other question, I don't think so. The duration was given as a tenth of a second, so that number should be the absolute amount (but do consider that this would be very high frequency photons and most of that will not actually have hit anything at all). But it's from a rather old article, and I haven't vetted it myself, so you may understand it better than I do. @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz
