Author AM radio: astronomically-high frequency modulator signal present on an astronomically-low frequency

Hi:

Please don't be annoyed/offended by my question.

Paul Cardinale said that there is no higher limit to the frequency a
carrier wave can transport -- regardless of the carrier wave's
frequency.

Karl Uppiano said 2.89e6-photons-per-second is the minimum wattage
required to carry an audio signal.

After reading the above, I assume it is mathematically-possible to
carry a modulator signal with a frequency of 10^1,000,000,000-to-the-
power-10^1,000,000,000 gigacycles every 10^-(1,000,000,000-to-the-
power-10^1,000,000,000) nanosecond and an amplitude of 1-watt-per-
meter-squared on a AM carrier signal whose frequency is 10^-
(1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000) nanocycle* every
10^1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000 gigaeons and whose
amplitude is a minimum of 10^1,000,000,000-to-the-
power-10^1,000,000,000 gigaphotons per 10^-(1,000,000,000-to-the-
power-10^1,000,000,000) nanosecond.

If I assume wrong, please explain how I am wrong as Cardinale already
said that there is no minimum carrier-frequency required on AM radio.
IOW, there is no limit to how high a frequency a modulator signal can
be and still be coherently encoded on an AM carrier wave.

A 20 KHz tone can exist in a 1 Hz AM carrier signal -- or that is what
I am getting from Cardinale's statement.

10^-(1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000) second is an
extremely short amount of time. 10^-(1,000,000,000-to-the-
power-10^1,000,000,000) nanosecond is even shorter because a
nanosecond is shorter than a second.

10^1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000 cycles is an extremely
large amount of cycles. 10^1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000
gigacycles is even more because a gigacycle is more than a cycle.

Gigaeon = a billion eons

Eon = a billion years

Gigacycle = a billion cycles.

*nanocycle = billionth of a cycle

Gigaphoton = a billion photons

10^1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000 -- now that is one
large large number.

10^1,000,000,000 = 10-to-the-power-1,000,000,000

So you get:

(10-to-the-power-1,000,000,000) to the power (10-to-the-
power-1,000,000,000)

10^-(1,000,000,000-to-the-power-10^1,000,000,000) = 10^-(10-to-the-
power-1,000,000,000)-to-the-power-(10-to-the-power-1,000,000,000)

10^-(10-to-the-power-1,000,000,000) to the power (10-to-the-
power-1,000,000,000) is an extremely small number at it equals 10-to-
the-power-NEGATIVE-[(10-to-the-power-1,000,000,000) to the power (10-
to-the-power-1,000,000,000)]


Thanks,
