Was originally going to make one for a specific verse but thought this would be nice to have as a point of reference.


Basically the feat of punching someone across the world with no official timeframe. Now in reference we'll use a fair timeframe of 5 minutes.


The Earth's circumference is 40,075 km:

40,075/300 = 133.5833333333333333 km/s or 133583.33333333334303 m/s which would be Mach 389.45578231292518012, aka Massively Hypersonic.


Now let's calculate the KE of causing someone to travel around the entire earth this fast.


The average human weighs 62 kg:

Applying KE, that'd make it 553180000000 Joules or 132.213193116635 tons of tnt, aka Multi-City Block.
