Hey, so. ISL page states that, to figure out how much energy an explosion would have at a distance, you would use I = P/ 4π(r^2), where I is the intensity of the blast at that distance, P is the intensity of the epicenter of the blast, and r is the radius/distance between the target and the epicenter.
Then, we multiply thay by the cross section of the target to get a value.
What about the other way around? I have seen this done before on this wiki, but, if that formula works, wouldn't it apply the other way around? If so, is it allowed to be used?
Because, if we know the value "I" already, but don't know the value "P", wouldn't P = 4π(r^2)×I apply? Logically, it should, absolutely.
"If the epicenter has x energy, it would have y intensity at n distance", therefore,
"If n distance has y intensity, the epicenter has x energy". Does that make sense?
