This is terrible, inapplicable logic on a website which indexes fiction.Anyway i think this thread is being too technical. Being realistic no one should be light speed cuz its scientifically impossible
The proposal is on the classification of light, not on Light Speed itself.Do we really need to be stricter about Light Speed? I mean at this point nobody's gonna be Light Speed...
Its more so just to clarify on reflection and how vsb treats it. i got like different answers on it. A clarification would be nice. As for strictness, explosions seemed to have been removed on requirements. I personally think the requirements arent that strictDo we really need to be stricter about Light Speed? I mean at this point nobody's gonna be Light Speed...
I'll be making that soon myself, as I already know a few other verses that can be put into question about it.If the compressed and improved rule is accepted, a list of all the series that will be affected by it should be made, right? I remember that this wasn't done about stabilization skills
Firstly, this isn't really relevant to the specific feat. The feat is blocking some beam, which is argued to be light by others. Light travels at the speed of itself. Secondly, we already do account for that not being physically possible. We don't do FTL KE calcs and shit, since it's just assumed that they aren't going to be following the rules of physics.Anyway i think this thread is being too technical.

I agree. Story writers are generally simple thinkers. I called it light and I made it reflect. It is enough for this writer. I don't think that any writer physically cares where the light is reflected. just as they ignore and show the physical consequences of exceeding the speed of lightDo we really need to be stricter about Light Speed?

The problem with this argument is that it's inconsistent with our general site policy of eschewing the intent of authors in favor of what they've actually written in. The flash saves a city feat is a well known example, where narration calls a feat sub rel that's actually mftl+.I agree. Story writers are generally simple thinkers.

If we call an attack the speed of light, because it is the author's thought, we determine its speed according to the expressions in the story to show that the author's thought is the speed of light. I think the author's intention is the most important factor.The problem with this argument is that it's inconsistent with our general site policy of eschewing the intent of authors in favor of what they've actually written in.

It's a staff thread though, so you gotta ask staff for permission to post in there (I put that in the OP so regular members like us can put in input)in regards to what kukui said, there is actually an open crt for that topic it seems:

Eh, this doesn't work so well. That emitted light is still going to be traveling at the speed of light. Just because it's coming from me setting a fire doesn't mean the light is suddenly moving slower.Just to throw another small crumb in, another reason why "beam of light!" claims should not =/= being MADE out of light is because light beams are not even generally made out of light.
Light can be produced and generated by tons of different energy sources and things that glow, shine, etc. but are not actual natural light. Saying a beam is made out of light for that reason is as big as me saying its made out of lightning, fire, spirit energy, whatever the case is.
Beam of light claims in my opinion should be dropped.
It would if the light wasn't real natural light to begin with. That was what my point was gunning for.Eh, this doesn't work so well.

Just a nerdy correction, light moves at the same speed no matter what, it just moves apparently slower through a medium due to internal refraction, aka the path is longer.Light moves slightly slower in air than the SOL value, slower still in water, etc.
In the right conditions, within a Bose-Einstein condensate, it can get down to 1 mile/hr to virtually stopped entirely.Just a nerdy correction, light moves at the same speed no matter what, it just moves apparently slower through a medium due to internal refraction, aka the path is longer.
I understand that, but wouldnt it be better at the very minimum how the site defines reflection on the feats page?I don't think we need to make the reflection thing more strict. I mean, I understand that the OP is correct, but you can't expect authors to go into this much detail while making something reflect off something else. The standards need to be realistic.
*Practically 1 mile/hr. Each individual photon always moves at c, but in dense mediums it bounces around on the molecules, you can think of it like a dense material being a complicated maze that the light has to navigate through, while a vacuum is like a straight road.In the right conditions, within a Bose-Einstein condensate, it can get down to 1 mile/hr to virtually stopped entirely.
i can agree with thisLight should reflect in a realistic fashion to qualify, proving realism is the entire point.
However, one should apply that within reason. Let's remember that artists usually aren't physicists calculating out lightbeams.
As for the OP, I think one doesn't have to put quite that detailed of an explanation on the page. I suppose one could mention defusion as a separate thing from reflection, though.
