Galaxy level

Since this is referring to changes in the tiering system, DontTalkDT will probably be the best to check with on such matters
 
Because its not just GBE that's important in the Inverse Square law, it's also cross sectional area.

Giant stars are actually easier to destroy at a distance than the Sun, because while their GBE's may be several times higher than the Sun's, their cross-sectional area is gonna be dozens to hundreds of times higher than the Sun's.

Red dwarf stars by contrast are actually harder to destroy than the Sun at a distance for the same reasons just inverted- GBE is much smaller, but Surface Area is proportionately even smaller.

Neutron Stars, even with GBE's less than that of the Sun, are still the hardest thing to destroy at a distance due to how tiny their cross-sectional areas are.

(This also means that all space explosion based tiers and calcs except for Solar System level stuff should be using Red Dwarf GBE and Cross-Sectional Area, but I'm not even gonna pretend like that Revision is ever gonna happen.)
 
A friend asked me to ask
why not use the average Neutron Star GBE(that they themselves made) which is>our sun for Baseline Galaxy level?

We don’t use that for baseline Galaxy level necessarily and especially since the GBE for a galaxy is a different ball game altogether. You basically have to calculate it since the galaxy (Milky Way Galaxy) contains all of our stars. Doesn’t matter what kind, it is all of them
 
Didn't we finish talking about this issue in the following thread?


Should we close this discussion?
That's not what is said in the OP. What the OP mentioned is why we use the Sun's GBE for Galaxy level when there are neutron stars in the galaxy that'll need to get destroyed too. This is the same reasoning why the tiering system uses neutron stars for the destruction of the universe instead of just going with the Sun's GBE

Up to the OP, but personally I don’t mind

Don’t remember of it being strictly neutron stars as that was already being debated in the thread being shown especially it is a assumption in calcs as well other things. There was even a old calc, but that was years ago at this point in time
 
Also if you destroy a galaxy, you already overcome the GBE of a neutron star which is calculated at 4B and accounting for the distance

To destroy everything in the observable universe, one must also destroy all the neutron stars in there, which is why the calculation places a neutron stars to find the energy value. The same applies to galaxies as the Milky Way (which is the standard we use for Galaxy level) contains many neutron stars

4-B is to destroy a neutron star at the epicenter of the explosion, not at a distance. Because of the inverse square law, the energy of the explosion per square unit weakens the farther away and object is. This is the sole reason why 4-A is so much higher than 4-B, and 3-C compared to even 4-A

Not just neutron stars though, but red giants, smaller stars, and so on.
It get further complicated since you need not just the distance, but energy for it.

The red giants have far less GBE required to destroy them as they're very thinly held together actually. As for the energy, the blast is required to have enough energy to overcome the GBE of the neutron star at the set distance. For 3-A it's 93 billion lightyears, and for 3-C it's 50,000 lightyears

For 3C, it is actually like around 1 millions of light years as that is the average distance between galaxies as shown in this page, https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/9780735421141_001

But I assuming you are referring to the nearest galaxy to Milky Way galaxy correct?
 
A friend asked
Is there a particular reason to not use neutron stars for the baseline Galaxy level value calculation instead of the Sun?
As for this part that has technically been answered, we usually assuming the destruction comes from Sun being blown up within our solar system and having to expand from there.

IIRC, any energy that spreads from the destruction of the Sun and factoring the GBE and the energy that exceed the GBE is something that is taken into consideration. You have to take it up with the ones who did agree with using it as the basic.
 
Can somebody write an explanation post regarding what currently needs to be evaluated here?
 
It's basically why we're using the sun for the value for Galaxy level while there are also neutron stars in the galaxy which have a much higher GBE compared to the Sun
Okay, but didn't DontTalk already address this issue about universal destruction calculations in another thread that I linked to above?

I don't know. And this was not about universe destruction, but rather galaxy destruction. I think maybe calling DontTalk will be good if he did said stuff abput this matter

@DontTalkDT

My apologies for calling you about something like this, but should we close this thread or not?
