Luminosity is the absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic energy and is the power emitted by light-emitting objects like the Sun.


Luminosity and physics

In particle physics experiments the energy available for the production of new effects is the most important parameter. The required large centre of mass energy can only be provided with colliding beams where little or no energy is lost in the motion of the centre of mass system (cms). Besides the energy the number of useful interactions (events), is important. This is especially true when rare events with a small production cross section σp are studied. The quantity that measures the ability of a particle accelerator to produce the required number of interactions is called the luminosity and is the proportionality factor between the number of events per second dR/dt and the cross section σp.


A higher luminosity means a greater likelihood particles will collide and result in a desired interaction.


Luminosity and star light

Luminosity is also a total amount of energy(light) radiated by a star. The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. Stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, which are packed so densely in a star that in the star's center the pressure is great enough to initiate nuclear fusion reactions.


To compare stars, astronomers use the luminosity of the Sun as a metric. For example the luminosity of Serius is 25 times that of the Sun.


Luminosity vs. Brightness


Two factors determine the brightness of a star:

  1. luminosity - how much energy it puts out in a given time

  2. distance - how far it is from us


Astronomers (professional or amateur) can measure a star's brightness (the amount of light it puts out) by using a photometer or charge-coupled device (CCD) on the end of a telescope. If they know the star's brightness and the distance to the star, they can calculate the star's luminosity:


[luminosity = brightness x 12.57 x (distance)2]


Luminosity is also related to a star's size. The larger a star is, the more energy it puts out and the more luminous it is. You can see this on the charcoal grill, too. Three glowing red charcoal briquettes put out more energy than one glowing red charcoal briquette at the same temperature. Likewise, if two stars are the same temperature but different sizes, then the large star will be more luminous than the small one. See the sidebar for a formula to that shows how a star's luminosity is related to its size (radius) and its temperature.


Why do we want to solve luminosity Imagine luminosity is the light coming from you that protects you, but also shines your way and everyone you encounter with Devine light coming not from other but from you. Imagine being able to charge or receive this light from your home smart mirror which is especially designed to guide you up to an entirely beautiful future on Earth and is there to spot another light on all the amazing things that the mirror sees in your externally and internally. Waking up every morning energised by a magic smart mirror of the future.


Opposite to news and all every day struggles we need to accomplish, solve and all the traumas we need to release, the magic mirror of the future with integrated more features into what might be a simple magic mirror, will bring so much peace, pleasure, joy, knowledge and happiness to your and all our lives, that you would want to take it every where with you. It will give you so much empowerment every day that you will not have a moment of the day where you have your head down.


Life will expand in the future. As our ancestors were here for 40-50 years, after which life expanded to 60 y.o., now to more than 80-90, same in the future our children will live up to 200. But also to start from us, we need to ensure that our surrounding environment is as good as the value of our lives. By giving it professional advice, mentoring, boost, star light and access to connectivity at home and with all our devices to make everything simpler, I think that ultimately will increase your motivation, your confidence, your aesthetics and appearance, will bring more balance to your life which will ultimately lead to better life, prolonged days, better encounter with everyone we meet, forwarding light.
