Alright, in OoT:
Link through a pillar weighing well over 1000 short tons. For purposes of being conservative, we'll call it 1000, nice and round, about 300 meters in two seconds. Now, ignoring the curved flight path, and rounding down the distance, and rounding up the time to 225 meters, and 3 seconds, gives you 75 meters per second. VERY fast, and this stone is.. 1000 tons!?
K = 1/2mv^2
m = 1000 ton short = 907184.7399995 kilogram
v = 75 meter/second = 75 meter/second
K, kinetic energy (K) = 2551457081.2486 joules
Now, apply 2551457081.2486 joules to say, a shield... How much does one weigh? Let's assume 100 pounds ot be conservative, and give _____ a CHANCE of dodging.
