So. I played through FF7 recently on a whim, and, being a physics nerd, I couldn't help but notice that during that one attack Safer Sephiroth loltastically destroys the Milky Way with (but miraculously the Heroes are Saved!) there are a bunch of physics equations (or I'm guessing they're physics equations, as earlier in the animation there's that one drawing that Copernicus used to own the Catholic Church, or something like that, and some stuff that looked almost like a free-body diagram with various physics-y symbols). Does anybody either have a) a working video of that animation that I can look at to find out what that stuff is or b) has actually investigated this so that I can be even lazier than I'm being now (I technically could beat it on an emulator and screenshot that, but that's more energy than I want to expend).

Thanks for any reply.

Who knows if it any of it is real? Dollars to donuts it's nonsense equations.

its probably the equation to open a worm hole to an event horizon or to the past or something like that and they didnt know because they just threw a bunch of symbols and letters together...

No, no, no. It's the equation that shows why a wormhole can't be held open for more than 38 minutes. It's one of the more immutable laws of wormhole physics, y'know. ;)

It actually is the equation for Perpetual Motion and to how to make a car that runs on water. With the amount of money oil companies would lose, Square could not release them through the usual channels, so they used FFVII in the hopes someone would get it. No one did.

Pleasssssse, you don't think the oil companies have spies everywhere? If there was any secret equation in there, they would have clamped down on it like (snap) and we wouldn't have the loveliness that is endless Aeris/th-resurrection theories. :D

Actually it's an equation, that proves God's existance. X=Y|Y=X; X+Y= (God lives, you disagree? Die!)

Ok, ok, I was just kidding. It's the formula for the pop that will never lose its fizz.

Um...
I'm kind of surprised no one has answered the topic creator's question--but here:

This is "Super Nova", the attack you're probably talking about....

The formulas actually are probably existing formulas, but the variables are different than the conventional ones....
I recognize the formula for the...uh....Area of a Circle.
But I also see a form of the formula for the gravitational force between two objects.

No, no, no. It's the equation that shows why a wormhole can't be held open for more than 38 minutes. It's one of the more immutable laws of wormhole physics, y'know. ;)

Someone has been watching Stargate SG-1 ;)

it the equation that prooves that life is a grapefruit - orangey-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle with pips inside and some people have half a one for breakfast
:laugh:

No matter what the fuck happens, the entropy increases! I know that much.

Anyway, I'm sure the equations have nothing to do with making the Sun blow up for a variety of reasons:

1. The Sun is a constant nuclear fusion generator, which is what causes the energy to be produced, as anybody would know. However, this means that the only way to detonate the sun would be to cause the fusion reaction to increase in speed, or to add a large amount of mass very suddenly at extremely high energy and cause it to supernova. If Sephiroth had these kinds of cosmic powers, he could have just rearranged the atomic structure of the player's characters to cause them to detonate instantly.

2. There is no equation for performing physically impossible feats through magic; magic is sort of a means of defying the laws of physics.

3. The comet hitting the sun would definitely not cause the sun to explode (or rather, asplode); it would simply be engulfed by the sun and be gone.

So obviously, this magic spell makes no physical sense whatsoever, so there are no real physical equations that have anything to do with whatever the hell Sephiroth did.

Edit: The only relevance it could possibly have is if it refers to the conversion of matter to energy, which is probably going on in the attack, given the whole Sun-blowing-up-thing.

I applaud you FF1WithAllThieves for your knowledge in the fields of science...
