Our current accepted world engine calc uses one week as a timeframe with the reasoning being this:
But we don't even need to lowball it as there is a even more blatant statement from the novel, with that being Faora stating all the humans will die in a few days, this would obviously be talking about the world engines process as the plans of Kryptonians weren't to crash out and kill all the human population one by one.
Calc with the new timeframe:
A few day usually means 3 days, 3 days is 259200 seconds
WE hits every 3.85 second, approximately 67325 hits in 3 days
Using the value from the calc, engines total yield is 5.3513e+33, we divide that by the amount of hits, 5.3513e+33/67325=7.948459e+28 Joules Multi-Continent level+ PER HIT
When asked how long it would take, Hamilton says metropolis has a few hours and krypton has a few weeks. He then later on says that his first calc wrong, the gravitational field is growing faster and that metropolis only has less than an hour. His calculations would have to be an exponential one and not a linear addition. This is because he states that the world engine and the black zero are sending the gravitational waves back and forth to each other with each ping having greater energy than before. With this information we can extrapolate that the new time frame would also be less than a week because dr. Hamilton himself stated that each gravitational wave gets stronger per pound so his formula to get the original few weeks timeframe would be exponential and not a liner addition or something akin to that. I have a very VERY long calc that shows the an exact timeframe with complex algebra and exponential functions but it’s really not worth the result, (if you are interested can link it below) so for now lets just assume one week as a lowball
