We can use these corrected fluences to work out the distances to other supernovae, calibrating our distance scale against SNO

We can use these corrected fluences to work out the distances to other supernovae, calibrating our distance scale against SN01 in M51. -8 Assume that SN01 has a corrected fluence of 5.512 10Jm2, a redshift of z~0, and lies at a distance of 450 Mpc. The highest redshift supernova in the sample is SN55 at a redshift of 6.69. It has a corrected fluence of 1.027 x 10-16 Jm-2. How many (Earth) years has the light from SN55 been travelling to reach Zing? Remember to use the version of the inverse square law including the 1/(1+z) term.
