Official Calculations Discussion Thread

I need help with this faulty calc that's featured in this verse's page

Invincible throwing half a meteorite was first calculated here. Then, a user found out the math was incorrect and re-calculated it here. Finally, a calc group member commented on how this calc also has issues. However some of those are issues that are carried from the very first calc that are now being pointed out and the user said that if that was the case it should be dismissed altogether, and since then, nothing.

This is pretty bad as besides Early Invincible it also affects other characters who scale and some have even gone to matches with that.

Any help on sorting this out ?

Does anyone know how to calculate the size of a body of water based on the size of its waves and depth?

Is there anything in this particular scan you could use to pixel-scale it? Or are you looking for just a general example of the average size of waves irl?

There's this shot, which, without doing any actual pixel scaling, the wave is probably around 2.5-3 meters tall.

Hmm, how tall are these characters specifically? The average wave height according to NOAA is 11 feet.

The one riding a surfboard is 190 cm tall, and the one riding a Jet Ski is about as tall as him.

Can any of our calc group members take a look at this thread about a likely error in one of our instruction pages, please?


If so, respond there rather than here please. 🙏
 
Ah, speaking of calculation issues, I think I noticed one in Standard Feats. The Vaporizing Earth calc acts as though the inner core of the Earth is liquid, but that's the outer core, which is significantly bigger. That'd lower the result a bit.
 
A question, to find area for example a country or continent on a map, should I simply find the longest distance between the two point and then use to get the Area or should I simply South North vs East to West and find the longest between the two and use that to get the area instead? Or is there much better way to calculate it? Like for this type of map

Area isn't typically necessary for calcs, what do you need the area for?

Unless, of course, you're trying to pixel-scale or angsize something, right?
Let just say I originally attempt to find the most accurate radius for ground level explosion using this method.... which is unnecessary long and complicated. Well, I already change it to most basic by using the diameter instead.

There's some way to measure pixels (and thus area) via GIMP and similar editors.

In GIMP, select your area with the selector wand or whatever tool you prefer, and add Windows -> Dialogues -> Histogram. It'll tell you how many pixels are in the selection. Pixels are inherently already square pixels, so determining that gives you the ability to measure area appropriately.
 
I have a question. Since light has force to it, wouldn’t that change how we do laser calcs? As it can just be justified in the fact that it could be a very powerful laser?

Highly context-sensitive IMHO.
 
Can you explain more?
Basically, depends on the context available to us, since end of the day the laser would still need to qualify for at least 2-3 criteria on our light/laser dodging beam feats page to qualify for the speed value.

Gotcha. Some of those would be that it fires in a straight line, comes from a mechanical source, and is directly called a laser right? And that in turn would excuse the force?

My opinion would be that the force would need to be within normal boundaries for light, which is in most cases essentially none. If it was mentioned to have had force but had practically no effects visible to humans, and it otherwise fit, we'd accept it, methinks.

What if the laser was explicitly called light?
 
While light based laser do technically have force in the form of Radiation Pressure, most of the time, it is so insignificant that it can be disregarded; like, you’re average laser would probably be clocking in at billionths of a newton. So, if a laser displayed any real tangible effect of force on an object without saying that it’s like, idk, a trillion watt laser or something, it’d probably go against our rule regarding it.
 
This, to me, seems quick to calc
can someone help me get the AP needed to perform this, please?
Bump

Also, if someone is able to knock out with a single hit an car-sized angry cow, can we get their LS via that?
The feat happens off-screen, statements with images are the only reliable source of that, unfortunately.
 
So in one punch man, there is the serious punch squared feat which causes an explosion that destroys a whole lotta stars. Now I wanted to calc how fast the serious punch explosion was and the fact that blast was able to react and redirect the explosion before it went fully off. I want help with that.

I have made some calcs, and I wanted to someone knowledgeable to review it and see if there is any faults or if it breaks some sort of guidelines because frankly I am not very used to making calcs like these. Just wanted know how feasible of a calc it is.

We cannot get LS for a striking strength feat like that, at most you could say the person who did it is Superhuman.
 
Are calcs which calculate the tensile strength or density of an unknown material and then use the results to calc a character destroying the material usable?
