Namek GBE revision/Calc replacement

Okey so this thread is to replace this calculation Namek size and GBE for this new I made
it was said that Namek's stars are Suns and have our Sun size, but the term "Sun" is used commonly in fiction as just a "star", which we can see on official site several times, like "smaller suns" "bigger suns", etc. So Namek suns are not our Sun and can't have the same size, which makes the current calc irrelevant.
Why Namek's destruction is a GBE? Frieza destroyed only Namek's core and without it Namek blew up by itself.
So for Namek's GBE upgrade:
Namek GBE = 6.5E+44 J or 6.5 Foe(High 4-C, Large Star lvl)

3D KE formula = 4,8506144E+10^43 or 0,485 Foe(High 4-C, Large Star lvl)

Because it literally has to be, what you said is true, but only in part, it's why the calc hinges on panels when all 3 suns drawn, as opposed to one or even two. If all 3 suns are visible, then one must be parallel to Namek, or in the foreground, based on how Namek's day-night cycle works, which is that it doesn't, Namek is situated between the 3 suns, like a triangle, casting light onto the planet at all angles making it so Namek doesn't have a night.
That's not true at all. We have literal IRL examples of a triple star system that's estimated to have planets. One of which more or less exactly mimics what Namek would look like. Why would we ever assume Namek is star-sized when it's completely realistic for this form of star system to exist? There's no reason at all for it to be this big.
 
Right, but he did survive the explosion at what was essentially zero energy and near-death.
I know
How exactly did you calculate the GBE? The formula for GBE is (3GM^2/5R). Your GBE should be 9.1271e+40 joules.
I just calced its destruction in DBZ Kakarot which looks indentical to manga, where we don't have the timeframe, so using this moment in game is logical. And I added it to Namek's GBE as it exploded on itself without its core, not that it was blown up by someone.

You see, in official website we it's been shown that Namek's star system is not something you can see in real world. Namek isn't circling its suns, but suns are cyrcling it like our moon around the Earth. In manga we see that Namek is bigger than its suns and it should be because it litteraly holds them by its gbe.

Dude, those astronomy experts didn't write the series.
 
Have you ever heard of perspective? Foreground and background? Distance from the point of view? Why is it that "Namek is bigger than its suns" based off of low-detail outer space exterior long shots and not "The suns appear smaller because they are farther away from the point of view than Namek is"?
 
Like, I dunno. Using the image in your calculation, if we're to assume the sun used as a reference and Namek are parallel as the calculation does, then the sun is 65 pixels away from the planet itself, which is only 217,100 km. For comparison, the distance between Earth and its moon is 384,399 km. Namek's atmosphere is explicitly similar enough to Earth's that even normal humans like Bulma can exist comfortably within its climate, and the planet is probably more water by volume than Earth is, so I don't think the planet has three full-sized stars orbiting around its surface at a distance only slightly greater than the diameter of the stars themselves.

Umm...if you take a look at any image of Namek with its suns, it's always bigger than stars, no matter what. I doubt it's only in perspective and point of view.

I'm not using sun as a reference, instead I'm using the smallest star in our universe, so it would be more logicall

This assumption isn't logical. At the size suggested Namek's core should collapse into a Proto-star and the other sun would've be drawn to the planet. Mercury is nearly 60 million kilometers away from the Sun, which is 267x the distance between the distance called.

All the assumptions presented just don't make sense. I even showed a IRL star system that could mimic Namek pretty closely. I don't think this calc is valid.

Using IRL star systems is irrelevant, because they don't work that way. Stars are sycrling Namek, which means they are bounded by its GBE, which we see in manga and anime. Also how it's shown in official website:

Also how it's shown in official website:
You missed the image I showed for KOI-5. The NASA triple star diagram was to show an article explaining how's it's functionally possible. Namek orbiting a star and then having the right perceptive on the other two would fulfill everything the story needs.

Let's slow down for a bit. You don't agree with calc itself because the size of Namek isn't right, right?
Btw, Namek has 3 suns and THEY are orbiting it, not Namek oribiting them

This is a presumption based on the stars appearing in the background and lighting Namek up. This doesn't make sense when we have a real life example of a planet with a three stars that would be flanked on all sides at various points in it's orbit.

First: You didn't answer my question
Second: Why do you assume that the star system of Nemean works like in the real world, when it has never been shown to do so? On the contrary, in the manga, Namek is always shown to be larger than its stars, and that they revolve around it, which is why there is no night on Namek. If it were to revolve around them, then there would be night. This is also stated on the official website.

And I disagree with it's assumptions. Like it being accepted in a CRT does not mean it can never be challenged or overturned.
First: You didn't answer my question
I disagree with the calc because the core assumptions don't make sense to me. The size is a seperate issue in addition to that one.
Namek is always shown to be larger than its stars, and that they revolve around it, which is why there is no night on Namek.
This can be accomplished with the KOI-5 system that I've shown. It being shown larger because its the focus point is a common perceptive thing. It's why the Earth appears larger than the Sun while on the Moon.

Both links are pixel calcs. What official statement are you talking about?

You'd have to overturn it in your own CRT rather than a CG thread with none of the original lads who argued for it.

Why it doesn't make sense? The planet blew up by itself without the core, so the only thing that detonated it was its own GBE that couldn't been controled without the core

I've shown several scans that show Namek and its stars from 3rd pov and stars are smaller no matter what. We know that stars are from all directions from Namek and from some point of view one star should be closer the the viewer than Namek. Even with KOI-5 system, where planet shouldn't be seen because KOI-05 A and B are even bigger than our Sun.

Again, perspective.
 
Again, perspective.
First: Prove it. We never saw Namek being smaller than its stars no matter what and even those povs are kinda in reality shown. Like on the second one one of stars is closer to viewer than Namek.
Second: Then what size Namek is by your opinion?

This was accepted in a thread long time ago. If I wasn't banned at the time, I would've brought this up.

I'm pretty sure Dragon Ball Kakarot proves those are planets, not suns.
 
I'm sorry, is this thread implying that Namek is larger than the Sun because of a perspective shot from outer space? If so, that is completely asinine.

Disagree for these reasons. Also the og calc should be nuked

Dude your source literally has the scientist say that Namek has the same mass and gravity as the Earth
Sekine: Oh, their landscapes ARE really similar. And since Gohan, Krillin, and the others were able to walk normally on its surface, the gravity on the planet must be about the same as Earth's, too. Having the same gravitational pull means that the masses of the planets must be about the same.
Sekine: Well, since there's water and the gravity there is about the same as Earth's, I'd say that a human could at least take a short trip there and be fine.
Like your source bar for bar contradicts your claim.

Namek isn't bigger than the Sun, but was consistenly shown to be bigger than its own stars. Prove that it's only a perspective
 
Dude your source literally has the scientist say that Namek has the same mass and gravity as the Earth
Bruh, it says Namek is bigger than Earth
"Planets that orbit stars other than the sun are called "exoplanets". But the exoplanets that have been discovered so far are usually larger than Earth with several times the density and gravitational pull of Earth. Exoplanets with masses several time larger than Earth's are called "Super-Earths", which makes it sound like something you'd find in Dragon Ball actually, kind of like a Super Saiyan.

If we get right down to it, planets the size of ours are rather unimpressive, so it'd be fair to say that Planet Namek is kind of like Earth's big brother since they're so similar."
Like your source bar for bar contradicts your claim.
It's not
 
Bruh, it says Namek is bigger than Earth
The scientist states twice that Namek has similar mass and gravity to Earth. Even in the exo-planet section they say Namek is bigger than Earth, but not star dwarfing. The evidence you presented does not back you claim in any capacity, it in fact goes against it since they directly say Namek is Earth-like in mass and gravity.

He said about Namek being similar to Earth BEFORE saying it's bigger than Earth, so the later statement is more logical

He says the Namek is Earrh sized after the exo-planet statement as well:

So he maintains that Namek is Earth-like but potentially bigger

Bulma was on the planet, we don't have to rely on some third party statement to say humans can live on Namek lol
