I've been over the kinetic energy of the Droplet previously, but there's another aspect of the destruction of each ship that may be overlooked, but is extreme; the energy to melt each ship. As the Droplet hits the Infinite Frontier (and the more than 2000 other battleships it will destroy in...

The Returners, a group of intelligent lifeforms who seek to prevent the Universe turning from a closed system to an open one (which would prevent the Big Crunch and cause a Big Freeze to happen instead) send out a messege across the supermembrane to the many mini-universes so that they make the...

Big spoilers for this calc. So what is the final solution to the Three-Body Problem? Destroying one of the bodies. This is exactly what happens when the Gravity and Blue Space sends out the location of the Trisolaris (and the Solar System) to the Universe, and Trisolaris is destroyed by one of...

The droplets can achieve maximum speeds of 25,000km per second, and are capable of crossing 15,000,000km in 10 minutes. T = 25000km/1s = 25000000/299792458 X 100 = 8.33910238% C Of course, as the droplets primary method of attack is ramming, we can also get the kinetic energy for this...

The Droplet makes itself known, and terror ensures. 1. The Droplet destroys the combined SFJCs space fleet The first Trisolaran probe, the Droplet, reaches the Solar System, and humanity is not close to prepared for the horrors this can unleash, with it wiping out the entire space fleet of 2015...

More calcs and numbers from The Dark Forest! 1. SFJC ships maximum acceleration Ships of the Solar Fleet Joint Conference have a maximum acceleration of 15% C. 2. SFJC railguns On top of another reference to their spaceships being able to reach 15% the speed of light, there's also another...

Earth's Remembrance continues to be a captivating, fantastic and more than often insane series. It also has quite a few impressive feats, some of which are given to us directly! 1. First Stellar Hydrogen Bomb test This bomb creates a mass of land like a mountain to rise 3000m (3km) up and...

The Three-Body Problem is a fantastic science fiction novel. So why not calc it? 1. The Trisolarians fleet speed The ships of Trisolaris can achieve a maximium velocity of 10% the speed of light. Simple enough. However, the ships can only maintain this velocity for a limited period of time...

It takes 2000 years for the Gilgamesh to reach Kern's World. Even when reaching the edge of the star system, they had been travelling for 1837 years. Kern's world is located 20 lightyears from Earth (or 1.892e+17m). T = 20LY/20 years = 2997924.58/340.29 = Mach 8809.9109 Final Results...

Children of Time isn't too heavy on feats, but it's one of the best science fiction books I've read in a good while, so I feel the need to share it and give it more of the attention it deserves. Let's start with a feat that's outright given to us... Old Empire ships can travel up to...

A few straight forward feats which the values of are given to us directly! 1. Nebula's flight speed Nebula is noted to be able to fly at over 800km/h, or 222.222222m/s. 2. Aqua's swimming speed Betterman Aqua can swim at speeds of over 600 knots, or over 1000km/h. On average, 600 knots is...

Pisa Sol reforms her true form from the Sun into a cube form. In case the show didn't make it obvious enough, the Dengeki Data Collection outright confirms she is the size of a star. (Relevant text) This will be simple enough. The Sun has a diameter of 1391400km and a mass of 1.9891e30kg...

Even more Ruby Gillman calcs, this time for speed! 1. Laser Eyes! Grandmamah fires her 'lasers' (or really, electrically charged bioluminescence), which Ruby reacts to. It acts like a laser beam though, so that's a potential discussion. In anycase it's worth getting a minimum speed. Ruby is...

J-Ark moves from Earth's orbit to the Moon in a matter of minutes, and J-Soldat and the Brave Robo Corps are completely unaffected by the acceleration. The J-Ark was moored at Orbit Base, so we'll subtract the distance from the Moon to Orbit Base for our distance travelled. The distance from the...

Ruby Gillman is an excellent movie, cute and funny, which while not on the level of Puss in Boots is still fantastic, and I'd recommend it! It's also got some very good feat in it (all gifs I'm using are from this respect thread here, so thank you for all the hard work)! Ruby Gillman is still in...

I've been hoping to find a way to quantify this for years, but wasn't sure how to. But no more! MEDUSA destroys the city of Panzerstadt-Bayreuth, and later self-destructs, taking London with it. When Tom and Hester are captured by Speedwell, Shrike is noted to be hundreds of miles away (by...

Celebringbor's sword Sulhelka (Icy Wind) can call upon the Utter Cold, who's one of three major powers is to freeze over 10,000 cubic feet of ice (or 283.1685m^3). Water weighs 1000kg/m^3. M = 283.1685 X 100kg = 28316.85kg (28316850)g To find our temperature, we will use the average...

Middle-Earth Roleplaying (or MERP) has lots of impressive feats, so why not calc them? Of course, the water-themed Ainur have plenty of impressive showings. Needless to say, MERP is its own continuity, seperate from the books, movies, games and other iterations of Tolkiens mythos. 1. Osse's...

The Nazguls fell beast flies faster than any wind of Middle-Earth. Middle-Earth is roughly located in the same place that Europe one day will be, and as thus, we can find the fastest speeds of the winds in Europe as a comparison. After a quick search, the fastest winds recorded in Europe is...
