How fast is 255 million of meters per second?

[EliminatorVenom]

Well, I plan making a character page, and the character in question (SCP-1548) moves at that speed. However, I don't know how to measure that (Hypersonic, Sub-Relativistic, etc...). Seriously, I have absolutely no ability in measuring that. Can someone say what category the speed of 255 million m/s belongs in?

 

[The_Everlasting]

That's around 85% of the speed of light, which is Relativistic+.

 

[EliminatorVenom]

Thanks, Everlasting!

 

[The_Everlasting]

You're welcome.

Also, the KE of that is like 3 kiloFoe, so SCP-1548 is Solar System Level+, just thought I'd mention that.

What The Everlasting said. Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s, so it's easiest to just compare to that and then check the speed chart.

Also, SCP-1548 is the star one, right?

 

[The_Everlasting]

Yeah, the sentient star due to collide with Earth. As I mentioned before, he would be able to build up KE since he isn't moving FTL, which, as I mentioned, is around 3 kilofoe.

Oh yeah. That's a pretty cool SCP. I like the originality and inevitability. Wasn't the SCP foundation receiving messages like "Your little world will be next" every time they witnessed a solar event near the star's location, implying it was destroying countless worlds on its way to earth?

255,000,000 meters per second translates to Mach 749,360.84. 1% of the Speed of Light is Mach 8,810.2.

Mach 749,360.84 divided by Mach 8,810.2 is 85.0560532% of Light Speed.

85% of Light Speed is in the Relativistic+ range of speed https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Speed.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite SCPs as well. And yes, it was telling them things like "you cannot hide" and "only death". Which is wierd when you think about it, as it must have known it would be recieving the messages thousands of years before it actually recieved them.
