The Tribunal's beredict remains intact!

(I will use this video as source, all timings presented bellow are pertaining this clip)[B]1. Mach 27.5 calculation:
After analyzing the movie sequence, i realize a MASSIVE error! Doomsday.
Should we follow Gubz methodology, we SHOULD take the time in the scene linear.
Therefore, it took Doomsday 28s (minute 2:25 - 2:53) to cross 480km (according to Gubz)
Should we put that into the velocity formula, DD would be moving at:
61714 Km/h or Mach 50!!!
Now, DD is definetly not Mach 50!!!!! (Should I now expect RetardBro or TheVault, or H1 to come arguing DD is 2x faster than Superman!!? 😂 🙂 )
It's clear that either the timing of the sequence is wrong, or the distance is wrong. One way or another, the outcome is erroneous!
Why should we take Gubz mach 27.5 calculation serious then!? It's clear there is a flaw in Gubz calcs.
2. Distance error:
Okay, initially I took Gubz 480km distance as granted...Then after reviewing the scenes (the explosion scene) I realized there is problem with it.
How familiar are you with the Tsar Bomba mr. Vault? Either way, the Tsar Bomba is the biggest nuke ever detonated, and presumely the biggest ever built. It's size was massive!!!!
A Tsar Bomba is a 50MT bomb, whose fireball radious is about 58km!
Now, put a the fireball's radious into a calculator along with the distance, and you can get the perceived size of such an explosion.
So that's what I did, and:
The perceived size such an explosion would have on the sky is of 7 degrees approx!!! (using 480km as the distance from the spectator)
However if we check the actual footage, anyone can realize that is FAR from being 7 degrees.

(In case you don't know how to measure the degrees of an object in the sky).Now, this is the Tsar bomba we are talking about! The problem is that it's a bomb, not a missile! The US missiles Trident and Minuteman carry between 100-170KT warheads (10x more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb) not Tsar Bomba's size warheads.
Using the 170KT one for the sake of debating, the size of this would be 0.6 degrees (A bit smaller than what the sun appears to be)
Conclusion: The distance used by Gutz clearly is for some reason mistaken.
Now what is the distance? We can get a clear picture of the size of the explosion in minute 2:35 (Batman's ship passes right infront of the camera showing the explosion radious at the back) i would estimate 21deg (For the sake of debating, since I think its more).
Running calculations, for something like this to happen the explosion should have taken place 10km above the city!!! Now, [B]For the sake of debating lets stick to the Tsar Bomba.
Should the Tsar Bomba had detonated instead, the distance should have been 116km above the city
Clearly, either Gubz calcs are erroneous or DCEU's physics is amazingly stupid!
3. Dear Gravity!:
How funny indeed! Not even myself initially remembered about gravity and how objects accelerate the further they fall.
What this means is that Superman's speed in that scene isn't purely his velocity, but the addition of it to that of the acceleration being supplied by Gravity.
In other words TheVaultDweller, Superman's speed in that scene must not be taken solely as his flying speed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, after doing some intensive research and analyzing the scenes over and over again I finally feel confident to forumulate a proposition.
Here are my numbers!
Using the new distance implied by the scene and supported by physics (and not the hypothetical 480km used by Gubz), here are my numbers.
Distance from the soil to the explosion: 140 km
Time: 1 minute[I will use Gubz numbers in order to prevent you TheVault to come saying i don't have evidence to back up the timelapse between the cutscene
Using calculations, Superman's speed for that scene is of approximately Mach 7
And note this isn't accounting for the acceleration supplied by gravity, so it could be less!
Now, I respect Gubz and constantly watch his videos for intel. It's not really his fault to get such erroneous calculation.
The scene is pretty messed up. Many wholes and things that can easily make you commit errors
P.S:
Let's keep in mind that the US misiles use way smaller nukes than the Tsar Bomba. [/B]
And as FrothByte presented previously, even a mach 10 Superman would mean Thanos activates a stone.
In other words, Kal loses this one.
