Ok, what is the standard for using relativistic kinetic energy on objects moving FTL?

[Maitreya12]

So if a character was to push or move an object, any object of any size at FTL speeds, whether it be through physical means or using telekinesis, what is the standard for applying that feat? Is it assumed to use relativistic kinetic energy calculator to light speed for the object to calculate the feat?

Moving FTL destroys physics since RKE calculations require an infinite amount of energy (joules/watts/whatever) for an object with mass to move at the speed of light. Once something breaks lightspeed there's no way to definite it's kinetic energy mathematically. Moving objects at FTL speeds just assumes that the character can overcome the GBE of that object.

Right, gotcha. By overcoming the GBE, you mean able to destroy the planet or overcoming the amount of energy required to move it at 99% the speed of light?

 

[Scottycj256]

yes, which would be High 7-A since thats the peak amount of energy for KE at borderline SOL

SOL and FTL is High 3-A

Destroy the planet

overcoming the amount of energy required to move it at 99% the speed of light?

Afaik we don't do this. But if we did it would significantly greater than just overcoming a object's GBE.

 

[Scottycj256]

oh im wrong then

 

[Qawsedf234]

I think you're correct about a Human moving at 99% SoL. But something like a star or black hole moving at those speeds would get you to 4-B or 4-A levels of energy for example.

Gotcha. Just wanted to clarify because I saw some conflicting answers on that before on whether or not to default to relativistic energy calculator for it. So for example Superman carrying planets across the universe would not be calced using the energy of carrying that many planets at 99% speed of light, instead it would be labeled as Superman overcame all the GBE’s of those planets combined.

 

[Qawsedf234]

instead it would be labeled as Superman overcame all the GBE’s of those planets combined.

From my experience it would be this.

yes

on an unrelated note it would probably be like 4-A to move a galaxy's worth of planets across the universe

and this feat was Pre-Crisis so there's no using this against Post-Crisis 4-B that the DC supporters are so dead set on

No it would be something along 4B since its just planets.
