as a hypothetical you could posit practically any distance. If you said "all the energy went into sending this one animal." I suspect that the math would produce such large speeds that you would have to count for relativistic effects etc.

but if you allowed that some energy went into making a crater, vaporizing rock, creating tidal waves, etc. then you would come up with a much smaller value

Still more annoying to me is the older style of comment that goes: "They could be in trouble; X has never won when down 4-nil at the half."
