Something I found strange about faster than light characters?

[Aurasuke]

How do they see if they are faster than light? Or do we simply accept it without trying to question the authors knowledge on how physics works?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

"It's fiction" is the answer. Much like how FTL movements would require infinite energy.

 

[Aurasuke]

lol and they would go back in time according to the theory of general relativity

 

[Ryuuzakiscorpio]

Bleach has lightspeed feats yet is contradictory. So no.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I've actually wondered this too. I think I read a mini-comic awhile back about a spoof Superhero who could move at FTL speeds, but couldn't see anyhing and just ran into a wall at full force. lol.

Search up : Accel World. That anime has everything you need

From what Anine said then that mean the super hero in the comic can travel at the FTL speed, but his mind failed to catch up with that speed. While in the Accel World, it's opposite, by using the physical burst, the burst linkers in the Accel World can accelerate their mind so fast that they can even see everything (including their own body stood still), an example of this is Taku use his physical burst .If you ask, then i will say Mind's speed = Reaction speed

Even if you has the FTL speed, if your mind cant catch with that speed then you're failed to use the FTL speed

lol unless your in a spaceship, then your a okay (looks at star wars)

 

[Yamatohime]

Well, spaceships basically travel slower than light. Look at SDF Macross FTL technology. They create bubbles around them and jump into hyperspace. Even their FTL techonology describe principle quite well Fold Jump.

star wars? faster than light hyperdrive much? to be honest a galaxy may be hundres of thousands of lightyears across, george lucas must not have done math if he thought that you merely have to move 2 or 4 times to speed of light in order to get from one part of a galaxy to another. it would have to be like at least millions of times the speed of light lol, otherwise they would literally die of old age before they got from one place to another.

 

[Yamatohime]

Well, our Galaxy is around 10 000 LY. So... =_=

 

[Aurasuke]

The Milky Way is only 100,000 light years in diameter. Let's not even get into Hercules A, which is 1.5 million light years across.


And even 10 000 isn't exactly small lol, people would literally age before they could get from place to another lol

 

[Yamatohime]

And even 10 000 isn't exactly small lol, people would literally age before they could get from place to another lol

Well, around 60% stars are in those 10 000 LY. But with outskirts MW is actually almost 180 000 LY

 

[Aurasuke]

Meh, I got my answer from google, it can't be wrong lol.

But sure, that sounds like a reasonable estimation.

 

[Yamatohime]

Still need quite a reasonable FTL speed to cross Galaxy before your death.

 

[Aurasuke]

how much faster though?

 

[Yamatohime]

100 000 LY to cross in one year = 100 000 x SoL

100 000 LY to cross in one day = 36 500 000 x SoL

 

[Aurasuke]

Lightspeed was a slang term referring to the speed at which a starship traveled through hyperspace. In reality though, lightspeed, or traveling through hyperspace with a class 1.0 hyperdrive motivator was actually over one hundred thousand times faster than the speed of light, allowing a ship to cross the galaxy in a matter of days. Light speed could be dangerous without the right coordinates.

Huh, seems like star wars actually breaks physics more than I thought lol

 

[Zerzavyx98]

Does this imply character who use instantaneous teleportation can process their minds at instant speeds?

nah nevermind that doesn't make sense
