DBZ Toei: Gokus Spaceship Calc Problem (Higher MFTL+/infinite speed)

Introduction

for a while, for the DBZ Toei speed ratings, it has been used this 10 year old calc (high end of 152.07 million c) of Gokus dodging some rocks while being on top of his spaceship that can reach namek in 6 days

the calc gets this results because, besides assuming 6 days timeframe of Gokus spaceship going from earth to namek (which its fine, as its stated) it uses a Statement of King Kai saying that Namek its outside his ´´area´´ (or juridiction, which would be the north galaxy as hes the north kaio) from that statement it assumes Earth and nameks distance is of Earth to the nearest galaxy (accepted by the wiki to be andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 Million Lightyears)

hovewer, you can tell the calc mistakenly believes that north galaxy (King kai juricdition) is actually a single mere galaxy, even the 10 year old comments under this calc point this out

the universe in DBZ Toei being 4 mere galaxies was debunked a while ago, being accepted in the wiki as infinite sized in this thread

basically, from many infinite statement, the universe in DBZ Toei is infinite, and the 4 galaxies are just quadrants of the universe that, if its infinite, then so they are infinite, even the High 3A characters like Post RoSaT Goku scales from restricted SSJ Broly affecting entire sectors of the southern Galaxy/Southern Quadrant, it claryfing that the NESW Galaxy refers to countless galaxies, thats why the Feat is High 3A (requiring infinite energy to destroy an infinite structure)

so, TL;DR: if the north galaxy is infinite in size as ´´countless of galaxies´´ then, the distance of earth to namek requiring to getting out of it to get to another of the 4 galaxies, would be ´´countless of galaxies´´ long, an infinite distance, and an infinite feat

so yeah, lets get to different options of how to deal with the feat being wrong about north galaxy being a single mere galaxy

1: Infinite End

so with all i have said before, the ship would seemingly have infinite speed, and goku reacting and dodging to some spacerocks while on top of the ship would be an infinite speed feat,of course this sounds problematic, cuz even Raditz Saga goku downscales from Post Gravity training goku in speed, so basically EVERYONE in DBZ Toei would now scale to Infinite speed cuz everyone was already scaling to this feat

2: ´´Observable Universe ends´´

not sure if its fine, but if wanted to remediate with infinite speed not being accepted, for the calc, it could be assumed that the universe in this feat is only the size of our observable universe (93 Billion Lightyears)

so if the galaxy Quadrants are 1/4 of the universe, then id imagine it as like this:

meensg.png


Red Line is the diamater of our universe, 93 Billion lightyears, while the Green line is the Area of the Universe, and the diameter of the connected corners of the galaxies (46.5 Billion Lightyears)

i put Earth at the edge of the universe, because its stated by bulma to be there, and Beerus anime calc uses it (dunno if it being a DBS manga statement applies to DBZ Toei) but even then, it being at the edge of the universe doesnt neccesarily means its also at the edge of the next galaxy, it could be in the middle of the circumference of north galaxy, but in this map at least i did put it near to the edge of North-to-East Galaxy (namek is not stated to be in East galaxy, its an example), and assume Namek is also near it edge (Namek doesnt have any statement about its position on those galaxies)

Earth and namek having significant distance within the universe its supported by this cosmology Map too, likely not accurate to the pixel but gives an idea of how their distance looks like in a universal scale, likely of billions of lightyears

so lets go for the ends:

2.1: ´´edge of galaxies´´ end

if we still assumed that earth is near the edge to the next galaxy (lets say East Galaxy) then for ´´edge´´ id assume 25% of diameter of the north galaxy, which would be 11.625 Billion Lightyears, if we also assumed namek is another edge of the next galaxy far away, then id adds up to 23.5 Billion lightyears

as the original calc had 2.5 Million lightyears of distance, the distance is 9300x bigger and so the results of this calc are multiplied by that to 1.414251 Trillion c (MFTL+)

2.2: ´´Furthest known galaxy´´ end

in the common feats explanations we have the feat of going from earth to the ´´farthest known galaxy´´ being going to Abel 2218 (13 Billion Lightyears), so if simply using this calc then we have that distance, the calc now has a 5200x higher distance and results of 790.764 Billion c (MFTL+)

2.3: comparing it to Vegetas Spaceship


it took Nappa and Vegeta to get to earth in 1 year from starting in a unknown planet, assuming it was half of universe Diameter: 46.5 Billion Lightyears/1 Year = 46.5 Billion c

now, to compare it to Gokus Spaceship, i will consider how long it took Vegeta to also get to Namek by starting from Earth:

first, after getting beaten up in earth, it took Vegeta 18 days to get from earth to Freeza 79, after healing, as kanzenshu says, it took vegeta another 5 days to get from Freeza 79 to Namek as soon as he got healed (said here too, daizenzu 7 is the source but couldnt find the page)

if gokus Spaceship is faster: as Vegetas spaceship takes 23 days to go from earth to namek (18 of them being to get to Freeza 79) then, either Namek is somewhere in the middle of Earth and Freeza 79, so if he had to backtrack the 5 days it would be 13 days to go from earth to Namek, or in the other case Namek is further to Earth than Freeza 79, adding the 5 days to the 18 days of timeframe its 23, both are longer than 6 day timeframes of goku who also started in earth

this leads to goku spaceship being 2.166x to 3.833x faster than vegetas spaceship: 100.75 Billioin c to 178.25 Billion c (this also leads to Namek being 1.65503 Billion to 2.92813 Billion Lightyears from earth)

besides that, Gokus spaceship is a rebuild of the one he used to arrive to earth as a baby, his spaceship looked identical to the ones Nappa and Vegeta uses, so it should have comparable speed if not more, as dr brief had even time to try to put a stereo on it even after putting the 100G gravity technology into it, the later being a technology that hasnt be seen anywhere else in dragon ball besides earth (as created by him), he clearly could have made the spaceship even faster with how smart he is

if Gokus spaceship is the same speed as this spaceship, then besides the Fact namek would now be 763.86 Million lightyears from earth, goku spaceship would now be 46.5 billion c


NOTE: so we have the following ends

3: nothing changes

in case both ends are not agreed, then nothing changes for the calc

Votes:

Infinite End: 0;0

Edge of galaxies end (1.414251 Trillion c): 0;0

Furthest known galaxy end (790.764 Billion c): 0;0

NEW VOTES BELOW:

High end of Gokus Spaceship being comparable to Vegetas spaceship (178.25 Billion c)

Mid end of Gokus Spaceship being comparable to Vegetas Spaceship (100.75 Billioin c)

Low End of Gokus Spaceship being comparable to Vegetas Spaceship (46.5 Billion c)


Nothing changes: 0;0

Not fully sure if this belongs to content revision or calc discussing thread, its still technically about discussing a calc methods
 
Respectfully, hell no.
Put me with nothing changes.

A universe can be infinite on the outside ends and be finite on the insides. Like a ray that starts at 0 and ends at infinity, you can finitely travel from 0 to 5.

Nothing says the space between them is infinite
 
As KT said, a distance within a universe with infinite amounts of galaxies =/= the distance Goku’s ship traversed was infinite here. The ”part of infinity = infinity anyway” argument doesn’t work for volume and thus the first end is bunk.

Moreover, Goku’s own reaction distance to the meteor is far inferior to the distance the ship went, so the calc wouldn’t be correct as it doesn’t account for that either, even if the second or third end was valid

I’d say nothing changes works + the calc should probably be revised because of what I said in the second paragraph
 
Let me see if I understood this correctly, you're assuming galaxies cannot be infinite simply because they do not have infinite size? That makes no sense. One thing does not depend on the other

Galaxies do not need to have infinite size to exist in infinite quantity. The concept of infinity can apply to the number of galaxies that exist in the universe, not necessarily to the individual size of each one

It's the same logic as numbers, every number has a finite value, yet the quantity of numbers is still infinite. In the same way, each galaxy can have a limited size while the total amount of galaxies remains infinite

Furthermore, Bulma's assumption is not valid for Toei, because she was never presented as an absolute authority regarding the cosmological structure of the Toei universe. Many of her statements are based only on interpretation or limited knowledge within the story. The Toei material itself presents several statements and depictions of a much larger cosmology, so using a single isolated assumption from Bulma to limit the entire scale of the verse makes no sense.
 
That’s not at all what either of us were saying. We’re saying a big infinite dome can have finite distances within said dome (e.g. Snake Way in the infinite sized Afterlife). This is the same scenario

Also ”Bulma not having any authority in Toei” is wrong due to Toei’s official episode summary


第7宇宙にある超ドラゴンボールを探す為に超ドラゴンレーダーを完成させたブルマは、探すには宇宙の中心に向かわなくてはならない。そう考えてジャコを強引に呼び出したが、とんでもなく広い宇宙の中心なんかに行ける訳がないと呆れるジャコ。しかしブルマにビビらされたジャコは、何でも知っているズノー様という人物に聞いてみると良いと代案を持ちかける。早速、ズノー様の星に向かうブルマとジャコ。だが、ズノー様との面会は、予約制で、順番が回ってくるのは7年後だという!果たして、二人の面会は叶うのか!?

BULMA, WHO HAS COMPLETED THE SUPER DRAGON RADAR TO SEARCH FOR THE SUPER DRAGON BALLS IN UNIVERSE 7, MUST HEAD TO THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE TO FIND THEM. THINKING SO, HE FORCIBLY SUMMONS JACO, BUT JACO IS AMAZED THAT THERE IS NO WAY HE CAN GO TO THE CENTER OF THE VAST UNIVERSE. HOWEVER, JACO, WHO IS TERRIFIED BY BULMA, OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE, SAYING THAT HE SHOULD ASK MR. ZUNO, WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING. BULMA AND JACO IMMEDIATELY HEAD FOR ZUNO'S STAR. HOWEVER, MEETING WITH MR. ZUNO IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, AND IT IS SAID THAT IT WILL BE SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE TURN COMES AROUND! WILL THE MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO BE SUCCESSFUL!?
 
How the **** is Bulma not an authority of her own ******* universe?????
 
toei verse and super cosmology were just accepted in a thread as being completely different then one another and to not be fused/used together in any way becoming separated in every sense of the word

That thread wasn't accepted tho? It was closed by OP's request because they're planning to make a better thread with better arguments.

I get your point, already seemed inconsistent infinite speeds for spaceships

However the calc it's still wrong about north galaxy being a single galaxy, even if the living universe in the inside is finite, it should be observable universe in size, and the galaxy quadrants each 1/4 of that universe

Saying that the distance to get out of the north galaxy quadrant to specifically get to namek from earth is merely 2.5 million lightyear still unrealistic, it's a 10 year old calc, even the comments of it pointed it out, if the standards on the cosmology (which includes the galaxy quadrants) have changed, then so the calc method for distance
 
I feel like the more reasonable upgrade for the calc serving as a high end is minimum distance to the closes cluster from the local one.

Currently as it is it is fine tho.
 
I'm for the "nothing changes" group. You can have finite speed feats within an infinite universe.
I'd ask you if you can say at least what you more specifically think about the observable universe ends, north galaxy does includes 1/4 of the universe, even if observable universe, it therefore be 46.5 Billion light-years of diameter as a quadrant, 2.5 million light-years being unreasonably low for an unknown distance of getting outside of kt
 
Toei DBZ doesn't have that quote, it's not an authority in the Toei Universe.
Fair thing tho, I don't see that for example in planet destruction calcs of toei we use big planets based on DBS saying earth is a small planet, and super dragon balls diameter of 37000km being "almost the size of a planet"


I mentioned Bulmas statement just to clarify that it does not mean that earth being in the border of the universe means that it's also close to the border to the next galaxy quadrant that namek is in
 
Bump (for damage and King tempest comments, and if KLOL will clarify their opinion of the observable universe ends)
 
2.1 and 2.2 proposal make the most sense, as be universe be infinite in size doesn't mean the distances between galaxies (or any astronomical objects) its infinite.
 
The ship travelling full quadrants of the universe is simply not possible.

For context Goku's ship uses Saiyan technology for its speed, which comes with some problems. Vegeta and Nappa's pods take nearly a year to travel from one unknown part of the universe to Earth. Realistically, if the pods can travel between quadrants in just six days, it would take far less time.

It's never implied that Earth's technology makes it even faster, in fact Earth technology at its peak is far inferior speed-wise, heck the entire reason Saiyan technology is used is because its much faster.

Both planets can also just reside in the closer part of their separate quadrants, which doesn't bring about the previous contradictions.

Imo we should just assume Namek is in another galaxy, due to them being in separate quadrants that have their own sets of galaxies and whatnot, and then use the distance between Earth and the nearest galaxy (Andromeda) as a lowball. Either that or we just compare the speed difference between it and the Namekian ship, whichever one has the greater result really.

Isn't it implied that Vegeta using another Saiyan spaceships takes about a month to go from earth to namek? He arrives around the same time as the humans, he barely must have taken a few hours to heal in some planet

Freeza arriving before anyone as he already had access to spaceships nor needed to waste time

So Goku's spaceship takes 6 days while Vegeta spaceship takes around a month like the namekian spaceship, there's still a 5x gap,

If not, then if for example Vegeta and nappa were 46.5 Billion Light-years to go from whatever they were to earth in a year, then from earth to namek in a month in the same saiyan spaceship it would be nearly 4 Billion light-years

Maybe using a 3 Billion light-years end, it's more accurate than a mere galaxy distance while having a statement of being outside of a galaxy quadrant

(Also realistically, as freeza is the emperor or the universe, his spaceships should be able to travel billions of lightyears in reasonable time-frames

Planet Frieza, where both Frieza/his men and Vegeta departed from, is another location entirely from Earth, there's no reason to assume the distance is the same as Namek and Earth.

That's not what I assumed, my point Is that Vegeta going to heal in some planet barely took any time

In a few hours ill check scans, but I'm implying that the namekian ship the humans used and Vegeta's spaceship are similar in speed, both 5x slower than Goku's spaceship

They are not? Both have different timeframes and different starting locations they aren't really comparable

Technically they still start at earth, even more, Vegeta would had gotten partly the headstart by leaving earth days before the humans, yet he came to namek moments after the humans


In a few hours ill look for scans
 
I’m pretty sure Saiyan pods have a soft cap for distances between namek and earth, assuming the universe is finite. Can’t be more than 1/10th the diameter of the observable universe because they took 1 year to reach earth and at most under 30 days to get from earth ( with a pit stop for Vegeta to heal) to Namek

Vegeta left early because he had to make a pitstop at planet Frieza to recover, only after the time he recovered did he make his trip to Namek, where the humans were already days ahead of him, so no
 
I’m sure we can plot a probabilistic 3-D map of all potential locations of namek and earth and maximum allowable distances based on Saiyan pod travel times, earths nearness to the edge and quadrants but it could only serve as a high end, in my opinion nearest large galaxy is a good simple end without nearly as much work put into it.
 
universe in this feat is only the size of our observable universe (93 Billion Lightyears)

so if the galaxy Quadrants are 1/4 of the universe, then id imagine it as like this:
In this model, earth would need to be in the center btw. 93 billion is because that’s the limit of what we can see from earth due to the speed of light.

ok from what i see, kanzenshu says that it took vegeta 5 days to get from Freeza 79 to Namek as soon as he got healed (said here too, daizenzu 7 is the source but couldnt find the page), similar to how long it took goku to get to namek, though from a different planet

it also took vegeta 18 days to go from earth to Freeza 79, he arrived there 1 week after bulma and company started going to Namek

besides that, Gokus spaceship is a rebuild of the one he used to arrive to earth as a baby, the spaceship looks identical to the ones Nappa and Vegeta uses, so it should have comparable speed if not more, as dr brief had even time to try to put a stereo on it even after putting the 100G gravity technology into it, a technology that hasnt be seen anywhere else in dragon ball besides earth (created by him), he clearly could have made the spaceship even faster with how smart he is


the 18 days timeframe of going to Freeza 79 and 5 days to go to Namek of vegeta implies that for saiyans spaceships, it takes 13-23 days to get from earth to namek, while gokus spaceship takes only 6 days


assuming Vegeta and Nappa were half of the universe diameter away from earth (46.5 Billion Lightyears) then: 46.5 billion lightyears/1 year = 46.5 billioin c

if Gokus spaceship is the same speed as this spaceship, then besides the Fact namek would now be 763.86 Million lightyears from earth, goku spaceship would now be 46.5 billion c

if gokus Spaceship is faster: as Vegetas spaceship takes 23 days to go from earth to namek (18 of them being to get to Freeza 79) then, either Namek is somewhere in the middle of Earth and Freeza 79, so backtracking the 5 days it would be 13 days to go from earth to Namek, or Namek is further to Earth than Freeza 79, adding the 5 days to the 18 days of timeframe (23 days), both are longer than 6 day timeframe

this leads to goku spaceship being 2.166x to 3.833x faster than vegetas spaceship: 100.75 Billioin c to 178.25 Billion c (this also leads to Namek being 1.65503 Billion Lightyears to 2.92813 Billion Lightyears from earth)
 
also i added a third Observable universe end that compares Gokus spaceship to Vegetas spaceship also having a timeframe of reaching namek in days, if someone could check it and say if they like it

(if King Tempest and Damage3245 dont read the post again, nor KLOL506 explains about what they think about the observable universe ends, i may just start doing the calc and try get calc evaluations)

Nothing about this implies Brief could or did make the spaceship faster, and if he was so smart he would actually have technology capable of traveling to Namek fast enough in the first place, which is very much untrue. Again the use of saiyan techonology, and Kami's spaceship, is why they can travel so fast to Namek in the first place, Earth technology is just that inferior to both
the 18 days timeframe of going to Freeza 79 and 5 days to go to Namek of vegeta implies that for saiyans spaceships, it takes 13-23 days to get from earth to namek, while gokus spaceship takes only 6 days
Why exactly? Freeza can just be placed in a position closer to Namek (than Earth is) and further from Earth (than Namek is). Nothing seems to suggest it's inbetween the two planets


Also switching to using the observable universe instead of accepted infinite universe just seems like a cop-out, there's no reason to use that if we're gonna interpret it as them travelling quadrants of the legitimate universe if the only thing against that is "the spaceships can't be infinite speed"
