It's all parts of Kyre's body in the end, so I would be happy with you waving hands while breathing the word 'allegory.' Any specific retcon can be administered the next time the remains are interacted with.

This Jvan awakening post is proving to be more world-shaking than I thought.

Fun fact: An object weighing a few tonnes travelling at a couple times the speed of light will hit a planet with explosive force about halfway between that of the Tsar Bomb and the Chicxulub asteroid, on a log scale.

As I dislike editing I'd prefer to just say whoops. I think that the mention of a "skeleton" is poor wording in hindsight, but it could refer to armor instead of literal bone. There is at leat some mention of metal fragments.

Or Kyre could have just changed forms sometime.

Is it a big enough deal to justify a retcon and edit?


No it isn't, just wanted to clear the slight confusion for myself.

Wat? No. Allow me to explain in Elvish so that BBeast doesn't have to.

For an object of any mass to achieve the speed of light you need to apply an infinite amount of energy. To achieve multiple times the speed of light, we'd need multiple infinities (infinity being henceforth denoted by the variable banana, ) of energy.

So this brings us to calculate that the object's Force (F) = mass (We'll round to 6000kg because Jvan is a fat whale of girl) multiplied by acceleration.

Because the asteroid is travelling at a constant speed several times that of light and has no Delta-V, our value for acceleration is 0. Since we started with the claim that this object has infinite energy, we go back around with our circular (and highly waterproof) logic to fill in the variables. = (6000kg)*(0m/s^2).

We now check out answer by dividing by 0. How many zeroes can you fit into a banana? I bet you can fit about 6000 in there, so our answer must be correct.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

ed: okay before I give dear BBeast an aneurysm, please remember, Jvan is an art student

she never made it to general relativity

she probably didn't even make it to bottle rockets

Universal law reflects this

You used Newtonian kinetic energy there. I can tell. I pulled up my favourite table and found that you're referring to something on the order of 1020 J of energy. Plugging in K = 1/2 m v2, and letting v=2c and m=3000kg, I get 5.4*1020 J, which is exactly where you said it would be.

Of course, in a relativistic universe, Newtonian Physics has broken down before you passed the light barrier. Taking into account special relativity, to achieve the same kinetic energy, we only need to travel at 0.55 times the speed of light (although getting to that velocity will still be just as hard).

There are two important things to think about here, though.

Firstly, one I'm genuinely curious about: Is the Galbarian Universe relativistic? The alternative is that it contains an absolute frame of reference (against which the speed of light is measured. Note that it need not be a homogeneous frame of reference. See luminiferous aether), or that the speed of light is variable depending on the source velocity (which would require a complete rewrite of Maxwell's Equations). @Dawnscroll, Logos invented most of the physics. Did he include relativity? (I'm guessing so. Gravity is somewhat boring without it.) (I included General Relativity in my artist's impression of the Codex. The 6'th equation down.)

Secondly, Jvan acts outside of physics most of the time. Assuming that relativity is a thing, if something goes faster than the speed of light its Lorentz factor becomes imaginary. At this point Physics would probably give up and wait for things to start making sense again. Last time Jvan FTL-punched something (see: Vestec), he no-clipped through most of the planet. Physics provides no sensible answers for FTL interactions.

Also, please don't enact a mass extinction event on Galbar.

@BBeast I think you can answer your questions (at least in part) by observing Galbar's temporal consistency in canon.

That being; this universe adheres to a physical rule known as narrative convenience. Don't question it too much.

@Muttonhawk Still, its nice to see a comparison between IRL and IC. Provides a frame of reference that could help when dealing with possible extinction events.

I think i mentioned it before, but I'll repeat it just to be sure. I'm extrremely busy these days and won't have much free time until around November-December. I spend from 9am to 10 pm out of my house and the rest of that time is spent sleeping or showering. See ya guys in two months, have fun!

No worries. I doubt there'll be too much IC world-shattering stuff in that time, so...we'll see you when we see you!
