This is a thought excersize that ive put a lot of thought into, and while I know you cant really put accurate numbers onto the scale of tpt, I still managed to put hard numbers on it.

  that does make sence actually, though i think it would still be interesting to put an arbitrary number to joules and compare the specific heat capacities of different materials in tpt and real life

  @LightningBMW if you'd like i can convert between units but its just a buncha extra math.

  I could apply a scaling factor, essentially making a new unit. There's a few ways i could do that, but its really mathematically easy to just, use no scaling at all, and take it as its own, tpt specific unit, unless youre making analogies to real life, whitch we can and want to do lmao

  that being, the ammount of energy required to raise one gram of water, (or one part of water in this case), by one degree celcius. It's easier to conceptualize, and explain, and work backwards from, than the original definition or modern definition of joules.

  LightningBMW It can be measured as Calories per gram Celcius. I used this unit for ease of calculations but you can, if you wanted to, use a unit analagous to joules if you either work backwards from how the unit was established in real life, or apply a scaling factor. I used calories because it makes for a really easy explaination.

  so uhh, you know when you figured out how much energy it takes to heat 1000 parts of water by one degree, and you said that was analogous to calories. yeah that is called the "specific heat capacity of water", and it is measured in Joules per g * C (J/gC) or sometimes Joules per kilogram * C. irl its around 4200 J/gC, or 4.2 J/KgC. calories are only used for biology really, and arent that useful for convesion so it would be better to convert them to joules before trying to calculate anything

  @totallynotaperson essentially I'm trying to calculate how much heat tnt can put out. and then im using that to predict how much a different volume of tnt can put out.
