High 3A Saitama (Please read the post before making a decision)

Not open for further replies.
Yeah this entire crt is based off the assumption that Saitama only just now achieved FTL, which ignores, contradicts, and undermines scaling previously established.
 
The entire premise of the thread is that "the theory of relativity exists in the verse and he can move at FTL speeds so he should be High 3-A"
When the theory of relativity is tied into a principle that says that no object can move FTL.

It's just cherrypicking what's nice and what's not
Well we're only talking about relativity, otherwise by your logic we have to apply the 1st law of thermodynamics, which we don't even for science based verses. You're the one who's cherry picking. In the very theory of relativity itself it explains FTL travel would move one back in time.

It's not about if could achieve it, it's if he actually did travel FTL, which up until that point, minus one instance with Geyuganshoop, he hasn't
Kinetic Energy Rules, it's indirectly implied, if relativity is not explicitly stated to take effect within a feat, we only assume the KE to be 4 times that of the Newtonian KE method (That being 0.5 * mass * velocity^2).
That doesn't mean that if the theory is stated to apply as a Universal Law that it can't be used

DOES. NOT. MATTER.

If it isn't stated by reliable sources to be acting the moment that feat is performed, it's not applicable. End of story.

Here be one of the best examples of this:

Except it does, it was made around that idea in the first place.

That Universal Law has to be shown, stated and confirmed by reliable sources to be acting at that exact moment you perform the feat.

It's stated by Genos, who is listed as gifted intelligence on this site.
That Universal Law has to be shown, stated and confirmed by reliable sources to be acting at that exact moment you perform the feat.
But when asked to show where that rule is stated, you failed to give any examples. So make a rules CRT, or don't use this argument.
 
I could reply, but I'm just going to make this simple.

Genos actually mentions how mass is effected in the same line of text when talking about the theory of relativity, meaning, you must prove that when they go FTL, or even just approach it, their mass increases towards infinity (This also applies to Boros and other Rel dudes as well).
And after you prove it, explain why they don't have absolutely ******* insane black hole tier gravity that disassembles basically everything around them which would come factored in with the infinite mass.

If you want the High 3-A, you have to have the Infinite mass and gravity and a bunch of other wacky effects as well as the same character says as much in the same dialogue. If you can't prove such a thing is occurring without numerous contradictions, it means Genos is full of shit and CRT is based on a false premise.
 
Well we're only talking about relativity, otherwise by your logic we have to apply the 1st law of thermodynamics, which we don't even for science based verses. You're the one who's cherry picking. In the very theory of relativity itself it explains FTL travel would move one back in time.
So we should downgrade everyone speed that is above FTL since they clearly don't go back in time and they have FTL on the their profiles.
Or we should cherry pick what's nice for an upgrade and leave the rest?

Also the entire High 3-A from FTL would cause a black hole 🕳 well I don't see one.

But since theory of relativity exists in the verse, the verse can't go past FTL without going back in time, this is FF all over again
 
Platinum Sperm is also FTL

So he is High 3-A as well

With this, FTL would be almost impossible for the verse btw
No, this can simply mean
1. Platinum sperm isn't ftl
2. The speed of light in opm is higher than our universe

I disagree, though

It's just speculation.

But when asked to show where that rule is stated, you failed to give any examples. So make a rules CRT, or don't use this argument.
@DontTalkDT @Executor_N0 Aren't we supposed to not use Theory of Relativity unless explicitly stated to take effect the exact moment the feat happens?
 
I think you miss the point. I don't care what the moderator says, if it's not a rule on the wiki, it doesn't matter.
Kind of does because it is, just nobody got to adding it because everyone forgot. Flash went through shit with his tiering upgrades because of this.
 
Talk about cherrypicking. They brought up 2 possibilities. They stated that it's a fact that it's one of two primary possibilities.
I made two different sentences in my original comment, and he wrote two different points, each fitting as a response to each one
 
You said

You wrote this as a fact, and not as a possibilty
What about quoting the whole post?
No, this can simply mean
1. Platinum sperm isn't ftl
2. The speed of light in opm is higher than our universe

I disagree, though
I clearly meant that there's 2 possible answers, not that they're the case

Its funny how you can clarify something and yall would still take it out of context

Anyway enough of this

If I read the OP right, I suppose you are looking for the following rules from the KE page:
The relativistic kinetic energy value is only accepted up to 4 times the Newtonian value: The kinetic energy value calculated using the formula for relativistic kinetic energy is only accepted to the point where it is 4 times as high as the value of Newtonian kinetic energy. That is the case, if the speed of the moving object is above 93% of the speed of light. For kinetic energy values above that, which are not faster than light, 4 times the kinetic energy value should be taken. Reason for this rule is that the relativistic kinetic energy diverges towards infinity for speeds approaching the speed of light. So to not get inflated extremely high results setting a threshold at 4 times the kinetic energy value was decided upon.
No kinetic energy for faster than light speeds: Kinetic energy calculated for faster than light objects, or more precise for objects for which v ≥ 299 792 458 m/s, is not considered legitimate. That is because the kinetic energy of an object, using the correct physical description through relativistic mechanics, would require infinite energy to reach the speed of light, and for objects above the speed of light the equations wouldn't return real values. Since the energy would approach infinity towards the speed of light it also isn't allowed to use relativistic speed as an approximation for the kinetic energy of faster than light objects, since by using an approximation close enough to the speed of light any given value could be reached through that method.
 
Yeah none of that relates to this scenario lmao.
It pretty clearly states that you can't get infinite energy from realtivism, as we don't allow KE to exceed 4 times the Newtonian value, which is finite.
The highest KE any object can have in our system is hence given by 4*(0.5*mass of object * (speed of light)^2). (as you can't use a speed higher than speed of light either)

Wrong about what? The Theory of Relativity exists? You don't just get that wrong. Also that relies on headcanon.
No of how Saitama works. He can think or hypothesize that Saitama‘s feat is a showing of him breaking the theory or Saitama isn’t restricted to it.
 
the high 3-A scaling with sperm doesn't work which is still the main issue, so I'd suggest the derailing about ftl KE and stuff just gets done with

Not necessarily.

Just asking about usage of theory of relativity and usage of relativistic kinetic energy if it is explicitly mentioned to take effect when a feat of that caliber is being performed, like the Flash situation where they say that as they accelerate to the speed of light their mass goes up to infinity and they threaten to tear a hole in the fabric of the universe yada yada yada.

Like the example here:

Should the theory of relativity be usable only then if it is explicitly mentioned to take place?

Yeah, when calculating relativistic feats. We're not doing that here.
