Your reasoning is a False Dichotomy. I already tried playing thanas's game, it's a waste of typing. Nor will I concede any points risen.

Even if you want to argue alternate universes, we see that the anomoly appears in each universe including the ones where he has the intention of using the pulse before actually using it. It's a causality paradox but still possible. Since the anomoly is created regardless of what universe you're in, it will be created in same universe where you'd want to destroy all life in the star wars galaxy. In fact, it should not only destroy the star wars galaxy but every star wars galaxy in every alternate universe created.

You know that you just signed the piece of paper which states "Please boot me out of here?".

Despite all your points being either wrong, refuted or irrelevant, you continue to deny admitting defeat. Openly stating that pretty much has made you an acceptable target. I don't think that you'll last here for much longer.

I've responded to him 3 times on subjects unrelated to the discussion. On the first one he wanted me to prove I can argue correctly by calculating the energy of an impact of a borg cube with a star destroyer. I responded with the calculations. Next, he asks me to justify the numbers I used like the velocity and mass of a borg ship. I justified them in my response and gave him the sources I used. Next he asks me to prove that the sources are all valid then he adds conditions like star destroyer shields and the cube surviving a bombardment while it's approaching the star destroyer. The pattern is that the posts get longer and longer and he will always look for something wrong with it or add more conditions to make the calculations wrong. His original test was simply to calculate the energy of an impact then he would be satisfied and it should have ended right there. I think that's enough to prove I can justify myself better than 99.9% of the people that post here. 8)

If you want me to prove I can admit I am wrong I'll do it. I found one point where I see I was wrong. When I posted a picture of a comic that shows what I thought was asteroids fragmenting after being shot by a star destroyer in the empire strikes back. Someone claimed that those weren't asteroids fragmenting but rather big asteroids hitting star destroyers in the background. I went and looked at the special edition comic which is basically the same comic except drawn better and it's pretty clear he was right about that. Although I'm the one that had to prove it to myself since all he said was some of the fragments looked like star destroyers.

Image

they look like fragmented asteroids to me. Plus this was the scene right after the "i"m not afraid.... you will be... you will be" scene where you're supposed to see the star destroyer firing at asteroids

Image

After looking at the special edition of this comic which is better drawn, it turns out it's just star destroyers getting their asses handed to them. There I was wrong about that, now are you happy. :)

Yes getting destroyed by asteroids THE SAME SIZE THEY ARE. How does this make star destroyers weak again? We know ramming is an effective tactic in trek because they regularly use it with smaller craft.

Comics drawings are notoriously poor evidence for quantification in any case. Add that the comic gives no indication of the velocity of either the ISDs or the asteroids and it becomes impossible to meaningfully calculate anything from it.

The point, remember, was to prove your assertion that a Borg Cube ramming an ISD would destroy or at least severely damage the ISD.

Even the low estimates suggest that the borg cube has at least as much mass as the star destroyer. It doesn't matter how much shielding or hull armor a star destroyer has, according to the laws of motion the star destroyer is going to get pushed hard especially if the borg cube rams them at 0.25c. Even if the star destroyer survives this impact, everyone on board will no longer look human and would need to be scraped off the walls. I honestly don't care if it will work or not. It's not related to the discussion.

Inertial compensators are standard technolgy for Wars. Unless someone cares to demonstrate that the Borg cube would impart orders of magnitude greater acceleration on the Executor by ramming her than Griff's flotilla did, I see no reason why the crew would be harmed.

I think you give this trektard too much credit Serafina, condoms can be pretty tough! As evidenced above this shambling mockery of sentience couldn't argue his way out of a wet paper bag made of sweet dreams and air.
There should be an official metric in regard to stupidity, so we can insult the imbeciles, morons, and RSAs out there the civilized way.
Any ideas for units of measure?

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali fought a 80-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire earth was destroyed.

Even if this works :wtf: you would still be down a cube unless you want to make a claim that the cube would survive. :)

More importantly the Executor was hit by THREE not one THREE star destroyers I think that might balance the mass scales a bit more.

I really don't care about that right now though. This particular thread is about destroying star wars with federation technology, not the borg's.

Classy. You remind me of those idiots on XBox live, once they start getting pwn'd hard enough they resport to childish retarded posing. Oh, and adding the SW ref doesn't make it a burn, it makes you sound like a desperate idiot who's argued himself into a corner.

They go back 3 and a half billion years and the anomoly is only the size of a quarter of a single galaxy. They think the universe is only 14 billion years old and arguably time didn't exist before this point.

Re: How to destroy all life in the star wars galaxy (easy steps)

Post by Teleros »

Okay, for reference I've gone through the last few pages and grouped all the posts by Thanas & marsh8472 relating to Thanas' challenge here. No links sorry, but except for the last two entries all the quotes are whole posts from earlier in this thread, and have not been edited in any way, shape, or form.

Thanas wrote:I would be against any coliseum debate until the guy has shown that he can either provide evidence, argue honestly or concede a point. I do not want Ruben MK3.

So here is my challenge to him before my mind on this will change:

Earlier on he claimed that ST ships ramming an ISD will cause tremendous damage. I now ask him to show that they can do so by calculating the energy such a collision will release against the ISD and prove that this is enough to damage/destroy the ISD.

He conveniently ignored all my points in my reply, so unless he answers that one, what is the use?
Thanas wrote:I notice Marshmellow here has still not replied to my demands. So we have some rules violations here.

Interesting.
Note: marsh8472 claims he did not see Thanas' post, and now begins to attempt an answer. As we shall see, it is just that: an attempt.
marsh8472 wrote:Okay so we know that a borg cube has a mass of 90,000,000 metric tons or 90,000,000,000 kg. Its velocity at full impulse should be around 0.25c or about 75,000,000 meters per second. This gives it a kinetic energy of 0.5*90,000,000,000*75,000,000^2 = 253125000000000000000000000 joules = 60498326960 megatons of kinetic energy. Sure you can spread this force out over the surface area of the hull of the ship but it probably won't help much and since the borg cube has more mass you can bet that the star destroyer will be pushed from this causing at the very least a g-force on the ship that will probably kill everyone.
No figures for ISD shielding or inertial dampeners given. Wrong equation used. Also, do we have proof that the impulse drive doesn't require mass lightening tech to work? Moving on...
Thanas wrote:You will of course also show how much of that energy actually impacts on the Star Destroyer itself given its shield strength?

You will also demonstrate how it is capable for a warp ship to collide with an object not in warp?

You will also demonstrate how full impulse is 0.25c?

And you will demonstrate when the borg have shown superior or equal speed and maneuverability to an ISD?

YOu will also name the source for the weight of the borg cube?

You will also prove how a Borg cube can withstand over 100 volleys of an ISD, which should be about the number it will receive before it gets even into ramming range (and even that requires the Imps to be fast asleep at the helm)?
marsh8472 wrote:ok one more hoop

considering that the millenium falcon was able to fly at one and make contact with its hull i'm not sure I have to. But according to st-vs-sw the star destroyer has absorbed as much as 1e20 joules of energy so it should absorb about 0.00003% of the impact.
You will also demonstrate how it is capable for a warp ship to collide with an object not in warp?
the same way riker was about to do it. Have your flight path pass through the ship.
You will also demonstrate how full impulse is 0.25c?
that's the most popular figure I got when I searched. It was actually a conservative one too. I was thinking of using the 0.9c figure.

has nothing to do with ramming, we see ships ram star destroyers before and they didn't have time to react fast enough to go to hyperdrive. The borg do have the use of transwarp hubs which allow them to travel across the galaxy in a short period of time, probably faster than the hyperdrive.

at 0.25c you really think they'll be able to get that many shots off before the cube slams into them? :D They'll do it with adaptive shielding. And...
SHELBY: Projections suggest that a Borg ship like this one could continue to function effectively even if seventy eight percent of it was inoperable.


that's how

pretty easy questions
Dodgy figures for ISD shield strength, inability to comprehend that if a ship at warp can ram it must either have mass lightening or it'll blow itself up on the first hydrogen atom it encounters, if only because the deflector dish will be shoved out the back of the ship. Borg cube & impulse speeds I gave you figures for based on Memory Alpha, especially as the DITL mass figure is one of the few unreferenced numbers on the site, and the Google link didn't work. Lack of evidence that an ISD can't scan and / or fire at lightminute ranges, despite evidence to the contrary. Lack of evidence that adaptive shields can block high-energy firepower. Lack of evidence that Shelby's projections were correct.

That is not an answer nor an argument, provide evidence and then argue about it.

has nothing to do with ramming,
Actually, sublight speed etc has everything to do with ramming.
YOu will also name the source for the weight of the borg cube?
http://www.ditl.org/index.php?daymain=/ ... hp?brgcube says 90 million tons
And the evidence for that is....where?
You will also prove how a Borg cube can withstand over 100 volleys of an ISD, which should be about the number it will receive before it gets even into ramming range (and even that requires the Imps to be fast asleep at the helm)?
at 0.25c you really think they'll be able to get that many shots off before the cube slams into them? :D They'll do it with adaptive shielding.
Because you say so?
SHELBY: Projections suggest that a Borg ship like this one could continue to function effectively even if seventy eight percent of it was inoperable.


that's how

pretty easy questions
You will now of course show how much firepower a borg cube can absorb?

That is not an answer nor an argument, provide evidence and then argue about it.
sure it's an argument. Plus we see asteroids collide with the star destroyers. Asteroids significantly smaller than a borg cube and the asteroids caused significant damage while demonstrating the star destroyers lack of maneuverability to get around them.
Show me the evidence yourself. I have no time nor the inclination to wade through google for you.
I need no evidence to support canon facts. Just like i have no time to do that right now, got work.

asteroids that go slower than 0.25c yet the star destroyer cannot destroy them with their weapons or move thier vessel around them to avoid damage.
And the evidence for that is....where?
in various other episodes they state the mass of smaller ships to have almost the same mass as this.
Because you say so?
they won't get 100 shots off because you say so either. You'll need to provide proof of this. You will of course how to prove your claim before I need to prove the counter claim.

It varies depending on how much they've adapted. You're just changing the goal post is all. The question was whether ramming would cause damage to the destroyer or not. It's obvious that it will so now you provide defenses for it.


that's enough hoop jumping for now. Your questions don't even relate to this thread.
Failure to show that the ISDs in the Hoth asteroid belt were functioning properly, in spite of (for example) clear evidence of manoeuvrability at Tatooine in ANH. Assertion that evidence purporting to support statements isn't needed so long as statements can be merely stated to be canon. More assumptions on Borg adaptability, followed by declaration that these issues won't be answered any more.

Your reasoning is a False Dichotomy. I already tried playing thanas's game, it's a waste of typing. Nor will I concede any points risen.

Even if you want to argue alternate universes, we see that the anomoly appears in each universe including the ones where he has the intention of using the pulse before actually using it. It's a causality paradox but still possible. Since the anomoly is created regardless of what universe you're in, it will be created in same universe where you'd want to destroy all life in the star wars galaxy. In fact, it should not only destroy the star wars galaxy but every star wars galaxy in every alternate universe created.
marsh8472 wrote:Even the low estimates suggest that the borg cube has at least as much mass as the star destroyer. It doesn't matter how much shielding or hull armor a star destroyer has, according to the laws of motion the star destroyer is going to get pushed hard especially if the borg cube rams them at 0.25c. Even if the star destroyer survives this impact, everyone on board will no longer look human and would need to be scraped off the walls. I honestly don't care if it will work or not. It's not related to the discussion.

I fucked your mom last night, she told me this is how she had you. I guess that makes me your father. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Even if this works :wtf: you would still be down a cube unless you want to make a claim that the cube would survive. :)

More importantly the Executor was hit by THREE not one THREE star destroyers I think that might balance the mass scales a bit more.
I really don't care about that right now though. This particular thread is about destroying star wars with federation technology, not the borg's.
