Possible MAJOR DC Calc Recheck?

^ The feat is about Flash's fist obtaining the mass of a White Dwarf Star. According to the calculation, the assumption is that Flash's hand weighs 5 kg (roughly 11 pounds)... Which is really heavy for a hand. From what I googled, male hands are 0.575% of one's body weight, and Flash's weight of 195 lbs puts his hand at 0.508590445 kilograms, ten times lower than the assumed rest mass in the calc. In fact, googling the weight of a hand yields roughlt similar results, and the experience of living for quite a long time makes me know that hands should not be 5 kg.

Dunno if this'll upgrade or downgrade, but I think the calc needs to be reworked with this new rest mass in mind.

You got a point and I still don't get why Gwyn's and Matt's calc give a different result.

Edit: I just did a calc using Gwyn's method with the 0,5 kg and got the exact same result as her...

How'd we miss this?

@Hellbeast except not really Lorentz Factor increases by the same amount as the rest mass decreases, which explains why I got the same result.

Edit: Heck if we take the total relativistic energy we don't need Wally's fist's mass at all and if we do account for it then the result is not noticeable within 14 digits or more. This is using what Gwyn did and what I found online. What Matt (except Ctrl+C and plug into calculator) did is beyond me however.

Was under the assumption this was something about how calcs work at their base lol. I've been deceived.

Just use the correct mass, use the result from that.

Damn, RIP the feat then if this somehow makes the speed increase over FTL

 

[Greenshifter]

No, no it doesn't it's physically impossible for the feat to increase past the speed of light.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

So this needs to be recalculated?

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Tried to recalculate it, but the difference between the speed and light speed is too small for my calculator to notice.

Using better calculator, I get 0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999998204 times the speed of light.

EDIT: Actually, it is not really necessary to find the speed of the punch, but just use mc^2-m0c^2.

(1.2e30-0.508590445)*299792458^2 = 1.0785062144841812e47 Joules, 1.08 kiloFoe, Solar System level, which is the same as Gwyn's version indeed
