User blog:Zanybrainy2000/Super Duper Quick Calc (Abyssalcraft): Antimatter cow apparently gets converted into energy

I just did this for fun, and possible future profiles for Abyssalcraft.

Apparently - according to the ingame guide known as the 'Abyssalnomicon' - there exist antimatter entities within Abyssalcraft that upon making contact with the normal matter equivalent of the mob they represent explode, which likely implies that they convert the entirety of their mass into energy, given how antimatter works.



According to wikipedia, antimatter and matter collisions result in the entirety of both of the object's mass-energy equivalent being released. So if antimater weighing one kilogram touched another object weighing the same, it would also convert that object into energy alongside it - or if a two kilogram mass of antimatter touched another object weighing two kilograms, it would convert that object as well as itself, too.

Since one of the mobs that has an antimatter variant includes cows, I might as well try calculating that as one of the possible conversions.

According to the Minecraft wiki, Cows resemble Norweigan Red Cattle.

Norweigan Red Cattle weigh about 495 KG at the least.

Since two objects with the same mass technically come into contact and annihilate upon doing so, I will double this value to work with the mass-energy conversion, so 990 kilograms total.

The formula for mass-energy conversion is Energy = Mass (In KG) * speed of light^2

So, in this case:

990 x 8.98755179e16 = 8.89767627e19 joules, or 21.265956668 Gigatons of TNT

Island level

This would techncially scale to post-diamond armor Steve boi in Abyssalcraft, given that they can tank the explosions that result from the annihilation of the two cows, as well as various bosses and such.
