Question about moving the Sun.

4,680

From what I know, moving the Sun at relativistic speeds is equal to 4-B, right? I saw this in some calculations in some verses.

But why does moving the Sun at ftl speeds remain 4-C?

Yes, I know you can't calculate it with the KE thing, because ftl.

But can't you do something like scale? Like, we already know that moving the Sun at relativistic speeds is 4-B, can't we put a feat of moving the Sun at relativistic speeds at the same level or higher? Because it's basically "the same thing" but faster. Of course, it would be something like 4-B base or something like that, since it cannot be calculated, or above what is relativistic.

If not, is it possible to do this exactly?

Because I think it's strange that moving the Sun at relativistic speeds would be 4-B, but if you punch the Sun and it goes to another galaxy in a second it would be 4-C because ftl (exaggerated example)
 
We've had this issue before, it just turns into the FTL KE problem, technically speaking, the feat is High 3-A, and so is moving a pebble, at FTL speeds.

The issue with 4-B baseline too is, why there? Moving a sun at relativistic speeds can be anywhere from like 4-C to 3-A (Not High), the higher you go into relativistic without hitting 1c, exponentially causes the KE and energy to increase indefinitely. Like even the gap between 0.90c, and 0.99c is hefty, but what about 0.99.99? And so on?

It isn't that we know it isn't dumb as shit, it's an issue of "literally can't do anything about it", in cases where they go FTL, you're kinda stuck calcing just the damage it actually did as KE is in theory High 3-A and we can't really pick a number as a baseline because it'd be completely random and arbitrary, like why 4-B and not 4-C? Wy 4-C and not 4-A? Why 4-A and not 3-C? This is a damn if ya do, damn if ya don't situation.

I got it, thanks.

But isn't that 4-C? Or is it basically the absolute minimum for the feat to not be invalid?
 
4-C is like, due to weird gravity baseline shit and the fact it's a sun, less to do with KE.
 
FTL speeds gets you an imaginary value. It’s not possible to do so.
