  1. I think, easily, the most ridiculous feat in this video is the meteor hit. Let's do the math on that, shall we?
  2. We're going to ignore the planets because honestly, it's going to be absolutely insane even without them.
  3. The maximum distance you can hit the meteor is 9999 light years away. For the sake of our math, we'll go ahead and round that up to 10000. Now, 1 light year is about 9.46 quadrillion meters. So, 10000 light years would be a crisp 94.6 quintillion meters. Pretty goshdarn far. Based on the clip, it seems that it reached this distance in about 20 seconds. Dividing the distance from the time gives us a total velocity of 4.73 quintillion meters/second. For reference, the speed of light is only about 300 million meters a second. So we've already broken the laws of physics. But let's keep going.
  4. Based on the clip, it seems that it takes about 1 second for the meteor to accelerate up to that speed, which means that our acceleration is about 4.73 quintillion meters/seconds squared. (Those who are scientifically inclined are probably saying that I forgot to account for the initial speed of the meteor. While it would be difficult to estimate this number, it’s not really too important. Since our final speed is so humongous, any reasonable estimate for the initial speed would have a negligible effect on the final acceleration. As such, we can basically treat it as zero.). But we're not done yet. Let's figure out how hard Kirby hit it.
  5. For those who don't remember their high school physics class, to calculate force, you simply multiply the acceleration of the object by its mass. Well, we have its acceleration, but we don't have its mass. So how do we get that?
  6. Well, the mini-game claims that the meteor was capable of destroying the entire planet. The force required to destroy a planet is 2.61 septillion Newtons of force. Assuming Popstar has a similar gravitational force to Earth, we can plug 9.81 meters/second squared for our acceleration. Now we just have to work backward. We can plug this force into our equation Force=Mass*Acceleration and solve for mass. Doing so tells us that the meteor must have weighed at least 2.66 quintillion kilograms. That's pretty goshdarn heavy. So, now we have everything. So how hard did Kirby hit this meteor?
  7. We simply take our newly acquired mass and multiply it by the acceleration we calculated earlier. Crunching the numbers gets us an absolutely absurd force of 1.258x1042Newtons, which is so goshdarn ridiculous that I don’t even have anything to compare it to. And this is disregarding the nine other planets the meteor bursts through, all without losing any visible speed. There’s also the possibility that the meteor was moving much faster when it entered Popstar’s atmosphere or that it’s actually heavier than we calculated, all of which would greatly increase the total force this puffball hit with.
