Darth Nihilus vs DE Palpatine [TK only]

Hell

Let's discuss the Empire State Building as an example *shrugs*

https://www.google.com/#q=mass+of+empire+state+building

Approximately 331,000,000 kg? Lifting that a meter gives you about 0.775 tons of energy to lift it.

Or just shy of a conventional tomahawk cruise missile in yield (some 450 kg/0.45 tons according to the admittedly citationless wikipedia article *shrugs*)

What do you all think are the odds of that kind of ordinance conventionally damaging the ESB significantly?

Not talking "take out the supports and watch it fall" I mean "wreck the material through the bomb's own power"

He didn't destroy it, though, just crack the foundations, which I assume would be the base. But it probably is better. I just wasn't interested in making an unnecessarily detailed case for it.

Sidious, obviously.

Even cracking the foundation of something the size of the Ravager is hilariously more powerful than lifting it, even in amplified gravity (gravity is a hilariously weak force tbh)

That kind of AOE is kind of the size of a moderately sized town and all

Especially if the foundation is some kind of metal, though concrete works just fine too

My analysis is largely just born of me procrastinating *shrugs*

Everything is more fun than reading scholarly articles when you have to actually read them

The Lusankya is over fifteen times the length of the Ravager. I wouldn't be surprised if Nihilus gets ragdolled, tbh.

Lol, this guy.

Agreed.

Someone's in denial.

Let's not forget that Nihilus strength grew greatly after his Ravager showing, and that he had to fight against an intense gravity well to boot.

There is no proof his telekinetic powers increased.

Why wouldn't they? I thought you believed that all abilities scale off of power.

Unless you think that eating several planets and Katarr wouldn't effect his power.

Because the wound was ravaging him and devouring his life energies seemingly at a faster rate than he could replace them.

:I

Ehh, telekinetic power is probably the most basic form of the Force, and the de facto ruler for measuring raw power.

I find it hard to believe an increase in strength overall, wouldn't increase one's TK prowess to some degree.

Let me revise my statement.

So, it was never stated in any source that Nihilus strength in the Force increased over time?

None that I'm aware of.

So Nihilus was different than almost all jedi and sith in mythos? He didn't get more powerful as time progressed? Obviously as some point you regress and become weaker, but Nihilus was old after the Ravenger feat, thus why would we assume he didn't get more powerful?

Uh. Yeah, he is.
