These things never happened. It is fantasy. That means the only thing that exists is what the writer portrayed or the stuff that can be deduced from this portrayal. Saying that there could have been unknown variables present is false since they aren't portrayed, mentioned, or can be deduced. Even so, F=MA is always true no matter what is going on. That is because it takes A FORCE to accelerate any massive object. F=MA is the minimum of the force. Think about it. Can someone accelerate an object without using any force on it?
If I'm wrong then I challenge you to make up an mysterious variable (or force) that shows that it took less than MA to move the planet. Explain the variable or force carefully and use good reason to show that it is possible to move a planet at acceleration A using less than MA force on it.
Sigh. You completely fail to understand my post. You saying that with 200 quintillion tons, Superman SHOULDN'T be sinking??
"Common sense". Riiiiight...
It is not common sense. Who knows what the properties of that ground was. What is common sense is that no destructible surface is able to hold infinite weight.
Superman WAS in team (him and GL), and you completely failed to disprove my analogy... :-/Also, because Superman SAYS so makes it true, correct? Well, the alien says infinite.... see the fallacy of your argument?
The thing is that the alien's comment leads to a contradiction. Superman's comment doesn't. Now if it didn't then it is ok to take what the alien said as the truth.
If Superman was in team (as in the pulling) then how would he feel Starbreaker's pull vs. just feeling the plain inertial resistance of the Earth?
