So, we currently have the border of Galactic and Multi-Galactic Lifting Strength at 6*10^43 kg, which is 3*10^13 solar masses. Here's the thing. The mass figure you guys got from Wikipedia for ESO 146-5 (claimed to be the most massive galaxy) has NO Citation. I literally went in to edit that galaxy's Wikipedia article to add a more reliable statement with a citation. Bear in mind, @H3110l12345I20 is formulating guidelines to ensure the reliability of real-world sources as we speak, so you peeps don't have a leg to stand on. Speaking of the article I cited, here it is: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.08843.pdf
This article, written by university researchers, puts the mass of ESO 146-5 at 2.7*10^13 solar masses, give or take 0.4*10^13 solar masses, but for our sake, let's use 2.7*10^13 solar masses. One solar mass is 1.98847*10^30 kg. Doing the math here, the mass of ESO 146-5 would be 5.368869*10^43 kg. Let's say for our sake this would be 5.369*10^43 kg. As such, the new border would be as follows:
5.369*10^43 kg
5.369*10^40 tonnes
5.265*10^44 newtons
Now that there's a figure with an actual reliable source backing it up, I implore you guys to change the border. Seriously, it's not hard to be accurate.
