    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    Yeah, the issue was the blog's explanation. Assuming all planetary destruction feats will operate the exact same way is just a massive assumption. The blog shouldn't be used as a general average-planet destruction standard. Either we use the planet's GBE for the baseline or only use KE when a...

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    I can address it, but it's an almost off-topic point. In your screenshot, you did not include the rest of one of the sources Google used: "But don't take this too seriously. It's based on a lot of assumptions and uncertainties" My response was stating that there are issues to using author's...

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    And again we arrive at the issue that he knows what a large, average, and small planet would be like, yet uses neither adjective to describe the Super Dragon Balls. No? Clearly they're in the range of the size of planets? The counterpoint I'm making is that knowing something is planet sized...

    Are you using MTL? Hoshi meaning planet or star is pretty common knowledge

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    Oh, assuming this is correct, thank you. Looks like there isn't any real debate to be had anymore then regarding on the scaling, they're straight up star sized. Unless the opposition also want to argue that stars are just realllllly small in the Dragon Ball universe too.

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    There is a lot to unpack here: First of all, when has another planet been compared to either Earth or Vegeta with those adjectives? Secondly, this is not a rule - why on earth would Champa need to note how big the Dragon Balls are relative to Vegeta or Earth? Thirdly, why would Champa of all...

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    If your position requires to make several extra assumptions to maintain, it is not a solid position to hold. There is absolutely zero evidence that the cosmology is so inconceivably different that real life planets slightly bigger than Earth don't exist. Why are we assuming the statement needs...

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    Thank you for the explanation. That's still a large leap in reasoning. If Object A is stated to be the size of a planet - we understand what they're saying means that Object A is comparable to other planets. We do not assume that most other planets are exactly the size of Object A, and...

    Sorry I don't understand what you're arguing here.

    They have no qualifier, ergo they must be the average planet's size doesn't really work unfortunately.

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    You could apply this logic to any universe with the slightest difference in their cosmology from the real world. We use irl sizes because that's what we know and have. If we have statements or calculations with a more concrete number, that's fine with me. But the issue is that we don't really...

    Calc Group Discussion: The Issue with Dragon Ball's Planetary Calculations

    The Core of the Issue: Currently, we use Champa's statement regarding the Super Dragon Balls being "almost as big as a planet" as the basis for a lot of our DBZ planet calculations. However, the raw line is: 本物はスケールが違う 1つが星ほどのサイズだ! "願い星" といってもいい大きさ! どんな願いも叶う! いわば "超ドラゴンボール" だ!!! The real...
