An intense physics debate/discussion in a roleplay that periodically gives physics the finger.Where are my sides.

Hard SF is the soul of my character. I'll defend it as such.

I'm with Schradinger here, Boerd.In the meantime, here's some science you might understand.

But it's wrong. And now you're copping an attitude at me while having no idea what you're talking about. Kilogram, the unit, is a measurement of mass, itself being the quantity of inertia possessed by an object. You are converting two such kilograms to energy, hence two times the speed of light squared.

Links are clunky on my phone. Google antimatter and mass-energy equivalence.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

One kilogram of matter, one kilogram of antimatter. The units of that equation which was not written for this circumstance is kilograms. The annihilation of one kilo antimatter and one kilo matter is the same as a hypothetical miraculous annihilation of two kilos matter.

2 times the speed of light squared is 1.79751036 × 10^17 joules. That in megatons is 43.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

Not terribly. Just mass times the speed of light squared.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

Definitely not. Force is mass times acceleration. Energy is mass times velocity squared.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

Also, not force, energy.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

No, one kilogram blows up with 53 megatons. It annihilates not only itself, but a kilogram of matter.
