New most powerful explosion in the universe? Real life upgrade?

[XXBenShapiroXx]

I believe the general consensus was that GRB 080916C is the most powerful explosion in the universe that we have ever recorder. It stands at roughly 8.8 kilofoe, or Solar System Level.

But there is an article that suggests there is something far more destructive; https://www.scientificamerican.com/...-the-biggest-known-explosion-in-the-universe/

According to the article, the blast is equivalent to 5 x 10^54 joules, which is FAR higher than the 8.8 kilo foe, or 8.8 x 10^47 joules of the GRB 080916C.

Is there some nuisance I am missing or is it time for a new king of Real Life explosions?

There is no needed upgrade as nothing scales, we slightly edit the description on the real world profile, edit the profile for GRB 080916C, and make a new profile for the Ophiuchus explosion

Inb4 4-B nukes

Upgrade was just a operative term. I meant there was a new more powerful explosion found. Sorry for the confusion.

Let's upgrade nukes

 

[00potato]

Please no nukes.

What level is this new record explosion?

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

What level is this new record explosion?

The explosion is in 4-A, I don't know if it's 4-A+ though

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

Hold up,there is actually a 4-A explosion irl?

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

Yes

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Hold up,there is actually a 4-A explosion irl?

Yup, 10^54 joules is well into 4-A

 

[Gilad_Hyperstar]

Wait, isn't 5 * 10^54 joules is like 50 GigaFoe which is still 4-B? Iirc 4-A starts at something like 22.5 TeraFoe

Crud, I was basing it off the tons in TNT chart

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

We need 4-A nukes

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Does anyone know what type of explosion this could even be? Its hard to imagine there is something out there more powerful than a Gamma Ray Burst unless it is black hole related.

Here is a Wikipedia article confirming the explosion's existence; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus_Supercluster_explosion?scrlybrkr=a1c804a0

Is somebody willing to create a proper profile page for this explosion, and then add it to the Real Life verse page?

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

I can, but I need a good image for it

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

Is somebody else willing to help Blue with that please?

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I hope new feats arrive that will upgrade the Tier for the biggest Meteor Impact Event.

I hope new feats arrive that will upgrade the Tier for the biggest Meteor Impact Event.

Are you hoping for a bigger meteor to hit us?

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

I am

 

[Antvasima]

Is somebody willing to create a proper profile page for this explosion, and then add it to the Real Life verse page?

Anyway, is anybody willing to help Blue with some kind of image for the page?

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Sure, I will see what I can find image wise.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Alright, found a more comprehensive article about it, should help with classification and specifics. https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2020/ophiuchus/
In the way of pictures that cleanly displays the manner in which the explosion happened, there are a few, I don't think any of them are official artist depictions though. https://scitechdaily.com/the-most-powerful-black-hole-eruption-ever-seen-in-the-universe/

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Alright boys, I need some help with the speed of the blast. Anyone care to help out?

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Nevermind. The profile is up.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.
