User:GiverOfThePeace/Thor FTL feats

Feat 1: Thor blocks a telepathic bolt from Pheonix. This is technically unquantifiable, but given the consistent depiction of the speed of thought in Marvel and the fact this blast is coming from a cosmic character it is likely on the higher end of the scale. This is not the only FTL feat though.

Feat 2: Thor reacts to meteors while travelling on his ship. This ship crossed "myriad lightyears " during this trip, with myriad in modern terms meaning "uncountable" or "unlimited", while meaning "10,000" in classical terms. Given the ship is described as capable of travelling to the ends of the universe in this same trip I believe 10,000 lightyears is an appropriate low-end. No timeframe is given for the trip, but given how comic book time is much slower than real world time I believe 1 month would be an appropriate low-end.

10,000 lightyears/1 month = 120,082c

But this isn't the speed at which he was reacting, rather the speed the meteors were moving relative to the ship. So how fast must he have been reacting?

Thor Head Height - 0.24765 meters (based on 1/8th his body height ) or 35.69 px

Meteor Width - 80.99 px

80.99/35.69 = 2.2693x

2.2693*0.24765 = 0.56199 meters

The smallest a human eye can see in laboratory conditions is 0.01 degrees . Putting these values into the angsize calculator gives us a distance of 3220 meters.

3220 meters/120,082c = 89.45 picoseconds

Reactions at this speed would be the equivalent of reacting to an attack at 37.291c, but keep in mind this is an absolute low-end. Not only does it assume Thor reacts at the very last second even though he is perceiving them as they cross the ship, it is also low-balling the speed. Using the speed described (capable of going to the ends of the universe) and even assuming a timeframe of an entire decade for that feat would give the ship a speed of 4.663e9c.

Plugging that in instead of 120,082c gives 2.303 femtoseconds, the equivalent of reacting to an attack from 1 meter away moving at 1,448,400c.

Feat 3: Thor executes a 180 degree punch in just a few microseconds . Clearly not FTL, but it seems to be pretty famous as a feat so I'll give it a shot.

Thor Height - 1.9812 meters or 447 px

Thor Arm Length - 172 px

172/447 = 0.3848x

0.3848*1.9812 = 0.7624 meters

Circumference = (2)(pi)(r) = 4.79 meters, divided by 2 gets 2.395 meters

2.395 meters/3 microseconds = 798,333.333 m/s

Feat 4: Thor states he can swing his hammer at 2c . No real calc there. Given that he is not struggling with this feat though and apparently has a lot of control over how fast he's swinging it it's likely he can swing it much faster, which has been shown numerous times.
