Ok. Now the U.S. What's the difference between both weights?
IOW, All-Star Superman CASUALLY pressed upwards of 1/3 the earth's weight with ONE arm. Just imagine what he could do in an 'all-out' setting, like the vs. forum. 🙂

What, how many times a musket could fire in a minute?

Isn't that supposed to be 6000 quintillion tons? I think you're off by a zero.

Weight of the Earth is 5.972 × 10^21 tons.
200 quinitillion would be 2x10^20 tons.
According to the wiki,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
A quintillion using the short scale is 10^18 and it is 10^30 in the long scale.
It is stated that the long scale numerical system is no longer officially in use in the UK since the mid-1970s. So I'm thinking the writer would be following short scale unless the book was written pre-1974?
"After several decades of increasing informal British usage of the short scale, in 1974 the government of the UK adopted it, and it is used for all official purposes. With very few exceptions,the British usage and American usage are now identical."

Metric units are 'official' as well - people still use imperial units here.
For example, when I started working, people still used 'billion' to mean a million million. Confusing.

So, still nothing.
And the musket video is...well, proves my point. The damage that the 0.5million ton key, thrown at speeds by a strength that can casually press 200 quintillion tons, would be far above anything seen by these guys.
AND would be concentrated in a small area. Your scans show how the Hulk, whose force was concentrated in his fist, was able to blow an asteroid twice the size of Earth apart.
Scale that. Use that exact same logic. Except instead of an asteroid, it's the Hulk, and instead of a fist, it's a key.
So the Hulk gets blown apart, like that asteroid in your scans. So I guess you're not posting completely irrelevant scans, as they prove my point.
So are you mildly/very autistic?

We get that, too. People use english here for height/thickness and weight.
But use metric for most everything else.
We use short scale numbers, tho.
Be it as it may, it is far more likely that the writer would use the standardized numerical scale system in his writing. Especially since it is also the main system of measurement for the target audience of his book (I'm guessing americans?).
I cant quote Nib but thanks for the info bro. Highly intelligent people here on KMC. With that said, that strength ft isnt that impressive when we look at what being like Hulk and Thor has accomplished. In regards to durability, at their highest or above average, a lot of those people on that list would survive it just fine. They'll get thrown back but they will be ok.
