How to defeat the Infinity Jaeger

Simple: there's no way to power something that large, short of incredibly lazy writing.

-edit-

Also, talking about stuff like this is pointless, same as how it's pointless to analyze that proposed sun ray thing from the 1940's, and just leaves everyone frustrated.

Yes. Until it mentions "it's ~10^52 m big". That's 100 ly.

Which then it suffers the same problem as trying to make a huge computer : Really bad latency.

You could argue that it contains ~4 billion standard yeager-thing, but they are spread about as sparse as being on Earth and Moon itself. Limited to yeager^4 (which is about 6000 km across, that's Earth radius-ish), there'd be 500 million of them. That does sound impressive but then they'd be quite spread out I think.

Equivalently, there'd be 250 million yeager^5, each the size of Earth-Moon distance, or 125 million yeager^6, each about 0.05 AU in size. The latency stands at ~1 seconds and ~1 minute already (I consider anything longer being impractical).

If anything, the yeager^4 (or 5 or 6) is going to be the most lethal part of it, not the yeager^32.

So yeah, defeating a yeager^32 is really easy. But a 125 million-strong yeager^6 is going to be really painful.

Assuming that relativity is ignored, then possibly a computer worm or somesuch could take it out. Brute force may not be necessary. Also, the pilots are the entire population of Earth, right? Good luck getting them to work together. I think it would probably neutralize itself.

lol

the thing about that concept is that everyone has to be in a mental bond with each other, but if that is ignored, taking out one of the pilots will disrupt the entire thing!

ad infinitum in the message? nice.

Newton could defeat it. With something that ridiculously large, there is no possible reaction mass large enough to move it. So, if you're out of arm's reach, you'll be safe from it forever. And if there is some magical way to move it, we've moved so far into the real of fantasy that anything could defeat it.

Here's another thought: Just wait. With all of humanity busy piloting the multiverse's largest dumpster fire, there's no time to fulfill basic human functions, like eating.

One last thought: Assuming that this was somehow built, that would imply that there it the construction capabilities to build an even larger one, or better yet, a super weapon that natively functions on such scales. The only fictional hing I know of that could create this would be the paperclip machine from universal paperclips.

TLDR, Newton could defeat it, waiting could defeat it, a universe sized weapon designed to be universe sized could defeat it, and a fictional machine designed to make paperclips could defeat it.
