By that time, it will have radiated about 1044J (joules)of energy. Express this amount of energy smallest living organism discovered so far is called a is estimated as 10 16g. Express this mass extreme prefixes that are officially recognized are yocto, which in-dicates a fraction equal to 10 24, and yotta,which indicates a factor equalto 1024.
