yeah but i think he discovered the ahad's constant and ahad radius in
2004.

Jerry Louis wrote on Jollyrogers astronomy forum:
"Most folk go out on clear nights and gaze up at the sky to see stars
looking like distant campfires, or pin pricks, or diamonds, or
glittering jewels, as they would describe them. But when Abdul Ahad
looked up, he saw something totally different in the night sky: he saw
music! Yes, no joke.

He writes in his epic paper on the interstellar night sky: "Now imagine
if we could somehow record and analyse the pitch, quality and tone of
each individual note of this 'music' of the cosmic night sky... How
loud would it sound in total, and would it have a distinctive tune!? "

His total "music" in the context of the night sky was of course an
integration of star light into his so-called 'Ahad illumination' or
'Ahad constant' figure of circa 1/300th of a full moon.
The man and his epic work are now in the history books. In spring of
2004, he was the first person in scientific history to determine how
much overall light the universe throws onto an observer if one removes
all light emanating from our own star - the nearby Sun.

And because he was the first person to estimate the universe's total
flux external to our solar system, by calculating the point of
equilibrium of that flux with the flux produced by our own Sun, he
worked out the [" Ahad Radius "] of a sphere dubbed the 'Ahad sphere'
or the 'Ahad sphere of solar illuminance'. His calculations showed that
for an interstellar traveller heading out of our solar system toward
the stars, at roughly 11,500 astronomical units or just over one
trillion (10^12) miles, the total amount of light received from the Sun
would be exactly the same as the total amount of light coming from all
sources external to our solar system.

He writes: "Beyond the outer edges of this theoretical sphere, the
feeble currents of light coming from its core (i.e. our own distant
Sun) will cease to make any noticeable ripples in the calm waters of
the surrounding cosmic ocean..."

and his first ark to alpha centuri will make a serious horror movie
