If I get a chance later today I can edit it in. Though if you want to edit it in yourself, feel free (that is what the edit button is for ;)) | |
| May 2, 2019 at 1:10 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | " (a rate of 55 K/Gyr). At that rate, "...it would take something like 91 billion years to cool to 0 K". That assumes a linear relation. That is not reasonable for such systems. It is more like exponential (if the "heat flow" is proportional to the temperature difference), and it would take much much longer (infinity in fact for 0 K - a more reasonable temperature of 300 K could be assumed). | |
