Hello fellow capsuleers i have to say love eve its my favorite sci fi franchise and i love numbers and explosions too thats why i decided to make this thread.
Here i will include different calcs about eve weapons yield and other stuff regarding size and fleets numbers i hope you like it and if you have anything to include or correct it would be great!.
Reschard V event
Some relevant quotes.
Quote:A second on-site report from the Servant Sisters of EVE a few hours later includes a preliminary estimate of 88.7% extinction of surface life forms
Quote:Along with our preliminary estimate of life form extinction, we expect sea level to have risen, covering at least two thirds of the existing landmass, the remaining surface being largely scorched.
Quote:"but it seems to be clear that the explosion, whatever the source, was of planetary magnitude. We are facing almost full polar cap meltdown
Reschard vs the K-T event
Killcount
Basically almost 90% of the lifeforms on reschard V died in few hours, thats horrible and impressive at the same time to give you an idea of the scale of that event ,if we compared it to the real life event of the cretaceous - Paleogene extinction event, where over 75% of the lifeforms perished over a considerably longer period of time ( dozens to thousands of years).
Basically during the disaster of reschard V a greater percentaje of lifeforms died over a considerably shorter period of time probably mostly due the blast instead of secondary long therm effects like on the K-T event.
Scale
According to the earth impacts program these would be the effects caused by the asteroid that killed the dinousaurs 65 million years ago.
over 240 teratons of TNT would be delivered something like 5 million tsar bombs the impact would cause a massive fireball and worldwide earthquakes coupled with a massive rain of fire due fragments of rock failling over the planet again heating the surface of earth, causing a nuclear winter and acid rain that would kill a great percentage of the plant life.
Now we have reschard V
First we must take in account the size of reschard V, reschard V has a radius of over 37000 kilometers while earth has a radius of 6375 km, here an illustration from devian art to give you guys an idea on the massive scale we are talking now, reschard V would be as big as gallente prime and then they mention the following on the article.
Quote:Along with our preliminary estimate of life form extinction, we expect sea level to have risen, covering at least two thirds of the existing landmass, the remaining surface being largely scorched
Basically over 1/3 of reschard prime was escorched by the blast we know that earth continents have a total area of 149.085.205 km*2 and thats like 25% of the total surface of the planet then we have reschard V due its size reschard V area should be 17203361371 km*2 if we assume that the water/land relation on reschard prime is similar to earth then we get this number 4300840342 km*2 and according to the article 1/3 of the land surface got scorched 1433613447km*2 or 9.5 times the total land surface of earth basically had the DD device been detonated on an earth like planet and all of its surface would ve been scorched which actually seems consistent with a picture we have from reschard V after being bombarded. Now do a mental exercise and replace gallente prime with reschard V those firestorms are large enough to cover the entirety of earth.
Reschard V calcs
Now its possible to quantify this event ? well i tried but mybe im wrong here are my calcs.
Reschard V radius = 37000 KM
Reschard V circunference = 2PI x R
Reschard V circunference = 232477. 8 KM or 232477856 meters Now we can see a massive firestorm on the planet and alot of smaller ones and there is one almost at the south pole of the planet so it could be say that at least that half of the Surface recived enough energy to cause fires. Now i dont know how much energy is required to cause a fire so im going to use the affirmation of nukemap where es mentioned that 35 calories / cm2 are enough to set dry Wood on fire, So we have the following
Energy required to set dry Wood on fire = 35 calc/ cm 2
35 calc / cm2 = 1464400 joule / m 2
R = 232477856 meters m/ 2 R = 116238928 Meters
Now if im not wrong inverse square formula would go like this
Energy/ 4PIR*2 = 1464400 joule / m2
Energy / 4PI 116238928*2 = 1464400
Energy = 16979037e17 x 1464400
Energy = 2.4864102e23 or 59.4 Teratons
So the amarr DD device should have a yield of at least 59.4 teratons and its heavily implied that titans are capable of tanking DD devices.
Or on the other hand we can assume that reschard V poles are similar in size than earth then we would require up to 1.13+ù10^25 joules thats like 2.7 petatons worth of energy thats like enough to kill all life on earth many times over which sounds consistent to what happened on reschard V.
So basically there are hundreds of lifewiping flying nukes on new eden quite impressive huh?
And there is more, the doomsday device that struck reschard V was the pre dominion doomsday device which was an aoe blast instead of a focused laser like todays pos dominion doomsday device, this means that only a fraction of the energy hit reschard V and most of it went to space ( sorta detonating a nuke at high atmospheric altitude) and that small frac... |
