They've never had to replicate it. Having them move planets every month would get a little boring.
Thats not what i mean, what i meant was the amount of strength it takes to dislodge a planet from its orbit is just staggring and neither of them are normally portrayed to be that strong.
I know this is going to look very geeky but here's a simply run down on the amount of force required to dislogde earth from the orbit (excluding the impact moon and other planets have in maintaining earth into orbit, if we actually assimilate all of them together, which i cannot because i dont know how, will make it lot harder to do what they have done)
Earth's mass (m1) = 5.972*10^24
Sun's mass (m2) = 2*10^30
Normal Orbital Distance in meters = 1.5*10^11
Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67*10^-11
Based on Newtons universal law of Graviation, the amount of force required to dislodge earth from its orbit has be slighly over this figure:
F = (G*m1*m2)/(r^2)
F = 3.54073* 10^22
One Third of it = 1.18024 * 10^22 Newtons
Force in newtons is hard to gauge so lets convert in into equivalent weight lifted. We know on earth it takes 9.8N to lift 1 kg. Therefore this feat can be converted as Wonder woman lifting a little more than : 1.20433*10^21 Kg
You really think wonder woman is normally shown strong enough to lift a little more than 1,204,330,000,000,000,000,000 kgs? She should have been able to lift city with her pinky :p
I see what you're saying. It's the same reasons all of the other extremely strong characters are portrayed the same way. It's not as suspenseful to see Wonder Woman effortlessly hold up a suspension bridge with her Lasso or Superman just rescue a plane midair without struggling. Then there's the old "they hold back" business. It's true if you think about it.
I feel bad but I skipped all of the math hahaha I'm sleepy and don't want that headache. I'll read it tomorrow =)
