i know the sky is black b/c we are moving and distant stars when the red/blue-shift eventually shift to a point that the light dissipates, at least thats what i read a long time ago. so hypothetically
1) 100,000 = 10^5
2) 0.0001 = 10^-4
3) 1,500 = 10^2 * 5
4) 0.0009 = 10^-4 * 9
5) 375 = 375 * 10^0
6) 1.2 = 1.2 * 10^0
Am I correct on them or did I make a mistake? Please explain to me if I got
