Sorry dude, he only metabolized the energy of the anti sun. That is not eh same as tanking the potential yield of the bomb going off. So it is a unquantifiable feat of energy absorption, not durability.
If his cells weren't durable, they wouldn't have been able to hold and metabolize the energy. Simple as. You didn't address any of my other points
The fact is no proof exists the anti sun is the size of the real sun. Only speculation. And using the only scalable pics with superman as a reference it certainly doesn't scale to sun size. So I don't see it as a viable calc.
Again you neglect to address the points I brought up and just repeat yourself. Everything within the context of this story points it to being a sun, and because of that we use the size of our Sun as a baseline unless significant proof shows it's clearly not of that size. No, flight streaks can not be used as reference as I already pointed out that artists very rarely draw them to scale when characters are at a difference
The source says that superman should depart the immediate vicinity as it will not be hospitable, it says nowhere that he is stuck at the exact point of initial impact, also superman would not purposefully go as close to point of impact anyway. Fact is even if he were close still hundreds of miles or more would distribute all that over a huge surface area, there is no reason to think he took close to the full force of the impact. Also the geometry statement is not ideal for this situation, the planets get crushed together, they don't only have one tiny point of impact.
Except the Source was indeed willing New Genesis to crash right on their location, where Darkseid was fighting Orion. Superman didn't leave because he was scanning New Genesis for the possibility that one of the New Gods were still alive
Yes, they get crushed together, but only moments after the initial impact, which again must have happened at one point, a point I already establish is very close to Superman, meaning he still took a very large amount of that energy directly
I'll address this next point to both you and Ant:
The sizes of the planets being referred to as an unspecified very large is not the same thing as using stories by different writers from a few decades earlier in a different continuity to use calculation stacking to say with certainty that they are the size of stars or above. The writer of the story featuring the collission most likely did not know this unless he or she explicitly referred to it.
As for the New Gods being unchanged by the Crisis of Infinite Earths, this seems extremely uncertain, given that their power levels drastically went down, and their histories of interaction with the DC characters were affected to fit with the new continuity. They might or might not have knowledge of the previous continuity, due to enhanced godly perceptions, but that is not the same as being unaffected.
New Genesis and Apokolips exist in the 4th world, which exists outside the normal DC multiverse. The New Gods were spared from the Anti-Monitor's attack and even remember the COIE.
[Here] is Orion himself directly referencing the events.
[Here] is Darkseid just sitting in Apokolips watching as the crisis happened. The 4th World was unaffected by it. Just because Pre-Crisis history of the multiverse was rewritten it doesn't mean we can ignore everything from this era, especially when these events have been brought up so many times
The question remains now of whether or not the "Earth couldn't displace a lake" comment is accurate. Nothing at all contradicts it. The fact that different artists have written about the 4th World over time shouldn't mean we toss any descriptions of it aside should they stay consistent, and this statement most definitely has. There is no calc stacking here at all, just taking a direct quote from the source and applying it to the calc. Whether or not Jim Starlin knew about this statement is completely irrelevant, as his depictions of the planets in Death of the New Gods does not contradict it in the slightest. What's been brought up here is just an appeal to author's intent, which always just boils down to unproductive debates over speculation and opinions of what the author thinks
More to come
