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.

You used Newtonian kinetic energy there. I can tell. I pulled up [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)]my favourite table[/url] and found that you're referring to something on the order of 10[sup]20[/sup] J of energy. Plugging in K = 1/2 m v[sup]2[/sup], and letting v=2c and m=3000kg, I get 5.4*10[sup]20[/sup] 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 [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether]luminiferous aether[/url]), 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 [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/38ca3b6b-ce69-4e36-a375-571266717c25.png]artist's impression of the Codex[/url]. 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 [i]imaginary[/i]. 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.
