[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 5838652, member: 11368"] Well, according to Wikipedia, the mass of the Milky Way Galaxy is 5.8 x 10^11 solar masses; which is about 2.5x10^42 lbs. I think each +10 strength means x4 carrying capacity, and to lift something over your head is a heavy load, so ... I think, assuming my math isn't off ... a Strength of 681 should be enough (21 = 460 lb. as heavy load, an increase of 660 Strength increases that by 4^66, so 4^66 x 460 is about 2.5 x 10^42). Str 693 should be enough to carry it as a *light* load. These assume a Medium character; a really big critter could do it with less (a Macro-Tiny creature has a x256 carrying capacity modifier, which is 4^4, so you can subtract 40 Strength = a 641 Strength Macro-Tiny time lord can lift the Milky Way over his head. A Mega-Fine creature, highest listed on the table, has x65536, 4^8, so minus 80 Strength = 601 Strength to lift the Milky Way over its head. And even that guy's only 96 miles tall at most, so he'd look pretty silly with a 100,000 light-year wide galaxy.) Of course, I'm not sure what gravity he's lifting that against... or how he's gripping it, since it's not anything like a solid object... Incidentally Surtr (Str 144, Titanic) can lift the Great Pyramid (~1.3 x 10^10 lb.) trivially, since it would require 145 Strength for a Medium creature. Alabaster (Str 133) can lift the RMS Titanic (~10^8 lb) very easily. A very large blue whale (200 tons = 400,000 lb.) would take 70 Str, similarly assuming Medium. ...I had it worked out for Moon, Earth, Sun, and the galactic-center black hole, but lost the post.
