Introduction​

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask you guys how to calculate the destructive output of the following feat when the speed of star particles come out to be FTL.


Feat​




Calculation​


  • 150 px = 1.3914E+9 metres (Sun's diameter)
  • Therefore distance traveled by star particles=951.96*(1.3914E+9)/150
  • Distance≈8,830,380,960 metres
  • Time frame=1.1 sec
  • Speed≈8.0276E+9 m/s > c


Question​

Is there any other method to determine the energy output?
I'm aware of the fact that we can determine the attack potency by equating it to Sun's GBE but that would be a massive lowball because this destruction can potentially yield in High 4-C/4-B energy output.

The alternative I can think of is, Inverse square law but I'm not sure if that applies.

There isn't.

It's kind of weird to call it a "massive lowball", because the feat is physically incoherent. It is a meaningless question to ask which energy value it corresponds to, since we don't have any outstanding coherent framework of physics that would let that happen.
 
Not a cgm, but ISL is for shaking and KE is for moving objects. I don’t know how these two relates at all and how ISL can be an alternative.
 
ISL isn't for shaking, it lets you calculate the source of a spherically-expanding wave of energy by the energy a portion of that wave has at a distance.

But yeah, ISL does not apply here.

EDIT: You can apply it to non-spherical waves, but it gets more difficult with exotic shapes

Noted.

The reason why I called it a massive lowball is because if the speed was around relativistic, the KE value would result in High 4-C range i.e. a tier above 4-C. Thanks for your input though.

I myself wasn't sure if ISL applies, it was just a guess work from my side.
But can we rate the feat as "At least 4-C" or just 4-C?
 
tbh I think there's a solid argument for "At least 4-C", but I think we traditionally just put FTL KE feats at 4-C.
