    The stratosphere extends from about 20km to 50km from the ground, whereas 1.087 quadrillion light-years equals approximately 9,460,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 km. I can be flexible, but that’s just too much for an honest margin of error. So, which is it ?

        Also I imagine GTA doesn’t model the planet, the solar system, the galaxy or the known universe, as this would put you well outside of the known universe.

        I have contacted the editors at PCGamer to make it read “yeeted past the stratosphere”. They have assured me that all involved will be leashed as punishment.

          In a follow up email from someone else at the company, they let me know that the people responsible for the punishment have been punished.

        If we assume normal, real world physics at work, and we have to as the game surely doesn’t model the stratosphere, he would not reach it even for a very very brief time as he’d have been evaporated from the heating at that speed well before getting to it.

        I’m not sure if it’s fast enough, but the Planck length does reemerge for everyone else at relativistic speeds, so using CJ as the frame of reference, there is a yeeting where he might “skip” the stratosphere like a rock being skipped across the pond.
