  1.22 * 10**28 watts of energy?  Watts are power, not energy.  Neither
does it seem right if 1.22 * 10**28 joules is meant.  Each partner would
have to weigh about 5 * 10**10 kilgrams.  1.22 * 10**28 ergs is still too
much.
  If the lighter partner weighed 50 kilgrams, the energy released would be
about 9 * 10**18 joules, or about 200 billion dollars worth of electricity.
