What would be the value if we use 60% and standard reentry speed?I just provided an alternative figure. The 60% mass thing only applies if it was going at standard reentry speed. If the object was 99% lightspeed it would only need to be a handful of miles large to blow up the Earth as an example.
The energy at the end is all we need to know, it's only baseline planet busting. It can't be higher. The reason it is on the blog is thst the calc maker inflated the speed without reducing mass to account for it.
