Hey guys!
Simple observation about this thread: That is my opinion. I can be wrong. This is just a regular theory.
I was a bit away from MLP this week. :okiedokielokie:
But I was talking with my friend and I've got two conclusions about Rainbow Dash:
This thread is about the most polemic pony --in my opinion, of course--: Rainbow Dash!
>Applause sound<
As most of us can see, Rainbow cannot surpass the speed of the sound, that is 340 meters/second, by the simple conclusion that there is no such being that can survive in such a speed like that.
Simple biological processes, like breathing and blood circulation, could be impossible. Just think of the sonic jet pilots, that use special clothes to keep the blood circulation in important organs to survive the extreme G-forces (I am not good at physics, but it is something like that. ) A simple pegasi, that isn't adapted to those speeds, would be crushed.
So you can discard your opinion that Rainbow Dash is faster than Sonic XD
But the main topic is how she can do it.
If she can't surpass our world's sound speed, lets slow the sound speed. To do it, you have to realize that waves(sound) spread faster in solid matter, than liquid matter, than gasous matter. So we can relate the supporting matter's density with the sound speed.
To be clear, I found this image:
So, to slow sound's speed, Equestria's air has to be less dense, and would be so thin, but so thin that the sound would be very very slow, and Rainbow could achieve a speed bigger than the sound's speed (in her world). So, according with it, if the whole world's air were thin, little beings with tiny lungs that live in that same world would die by suffocation, and a lot of other elementary biological things wouldn't happen. So, I could affirm that Sonic Rainbooms are a complete mystery.
The only pony I saw in My Little Pony (I watched only until 4S11E, I guess, but it is still a good base for analysis ), was Rainbow Dash breaking her wing in some random episode I forgot now (Soaren broke some bones too in other random episode, but lets forget it for now). She fell from an considerable height and considerable speed that could broke a bunch of teeth, ribs, and even arms to humans. But she broke just a single wingbone, and she didn't lose even a single tooth! WTF?
One thing to consider is that in the entire series, for some ethical reason I guess, no pony ever got a single cut. Just scratches, but never blood.
Considering that Soaren broke a lot of bones too in an accident, and comparing that Rainbow Dash took just some days for recover from her accident, and comparing her body hardness with Soaren, a trained pegasi in matter of fly, I could affirm that Rainbow Dash has an incredible body resistance with impacts.
