[@chrismichaels6912]

I have to disagree with you on this one. From the way you describe quantum tunneling, and I do know a thing or two about quantum physics, the matter tunneling through would simply teleport onto the other side of said wall or bad guy as opposed to moving at a constant speed through the space between the two. Along with the fact that quantum physics typically only applies to members of the quantum realm. (rip Mrs Pym) I can however pose a different theory. The amount of space both between atoms in molecular structures, as well as within atoms themselves, is massive. There is more empty space in an atom than actual atom parts. The reason that atoms can't move between these spaces, and why we can't walk through walls, is the negative change in electrons; and yes, I do know you touched upon this. The negative charges, while very weak, are like two magnets aimed negative sides at each other. It's hard to touch the two together. However... if you disabled the negative charge, there would be no problem at all moving through a solid object. But wait! The negative charges are actually what keep atoms together... and they bond molecules... so... if you disable the charges then the entire structure would basically atomize into nothingness... not fun unless you're a villain from James Bond. So here is the possibility. What if instead of fully cutting off the charge, they just have the ability to reduce it? Lower the electron charge constant within themselves to a perfect balance... right between weak enough to phase through, and strong enough to still hold the molecules together? Finding this balance would allow the physics of phase shifting to work perfectly.

6:08 So what happens when Thor's hammer is resting on a table (like the very fragile looking glass table in Stark's skyscaper), and you break the table? Would the hammer fall to the ground? Would the hammer keep falling through the floor until it hit the bottom (or the center of the earth)? Would it just keep floating in mid air (since no one worthy has moved it? Would gravity not be worthy enough? If the hammer is affected by gravity, would someone with telekinetic powers be able to lift it by manipulating gravity?

[@izzythefizzy4]

He has also said that he vibrates through things in the new 52.

[@Vid1917]

3:40 a better understanding I've developed reading Flash all these years is this: Barry constantly gets into trouble with altering time, jumping in and out of dimensions, phasing into a different reality in general (going to another universe), which is all technically due to vibrations. Theoretically, by string theory, Barry actually CAN shift the vibrations of the strings in his atoms, allowing him to momentarily shift out of phase with the reality he is in, and reappear on the other side of the space at the same frequency of the universe.

[@theradiantdehd3997]

I mean, bending Quantum Physics to his own will, isn't too big of a stretch for the Flash. He already bends space and time for his own benefit... Sure, it's not the explanation they gave... But I still feel it would be possible given his power set.

[@PubicGore]

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Quantum mechanics trumps everything else. Also, he should not be able to bend space and time because spacetime does not exist, time would be self-referential. I don't want to explain this because it is pointless because nobody here would understand it.

He only moves his legs while moving the speeds he does because he thinks he needs to. He believes he can and wills it to happen but he's limited by the capacity of his human brain. I will go on to say that he does get some access to what he's really capable of but I won't spoil more on principle.

[@liammoffat7277]

in theory though if flash vibrated fast enough couldn't he melt the objects he wanted to travel through? nobody ever seems to question this when they mention the vibrations. however i assume this would be hella dangerous and impractical.

[@julekmeister]

How about this: he vibrates very, very fast - every particle in his body occupy many different spaces in a very short time. Wouldn't that somehow increase the wavelength of their probability wave? If so wouldn't that mean that those particles had much greater chance to be on the other side of the wall thanks to quantum tunneling?

[@julekmeister]

***** Maybe not as gamma radiation, because his atomic structure doesn't change. But if the Speedforce somehow can make his matter not interact with Higgs field that would make him massless. I think...

+Nerdist the reason why the flash's clothes don't come of is because the suit is vibrating at the same frequency as his body hence them not being able to fall of.BOOM!!

[@ev3803]

+Nerdist the way the flash can 'vibrate' through walls is he basically breaks through the dimensional barrier just before he hits the wall then goes into a small dimensional pocket and comes back out again faster than the human or should I say meta-human brain can comprehend but he comes back out of the dimensional pocket in front of the wall.BOOM!!!!!!! vision and kitty prime though I have no Idea how they can do this it would make sense if vision had the reality gem In his forehead instead of the mind gem because then he would be able to warp reality but maybe the mind gem can do a mind illusion that makes it look like he has gone through the wall or... something DOUBLE BOOM!!!!!!!!!! kitty prime on the other hand I think is plausible because she moves her atoms through the gaps between the atoms instead of just going through the atoms TRIPLE BOOM!!!!!!!

[@jessiemoore6649]

Evan Duggan The gaps between atoms? THE GAPS BETWEEN ATOMS? If the whole reason Kitty can phase through walls is because she moves between atoms then anyone could do that by pressing up against a wall and moving a little. And about the Vision. What's the point of making it look like you're phasing through walls? He's clearly a smart guy. He probably understands the uselessness of doing that. The only reason he (or any other mental powered individuals) would realistically do that is to make himself appear more powerful, not to invade Scarlet Witch's bedroom. The Flash's well known form of phasing is vibration which is why it is explored in the video. I've never heard of him doing what you say he's doing. About Flash's clothes. If he's phasing through atoms why wouldn't his clothes come off? He's superpowered not his suit. There's also still space between him and his suit. If he vibrated at those high speeds he would not only get super chafed but his suit would get destroyed. Go back to your Legos.

dustin pickert oh my!

[@jaymz_rg1003]

Omg, I think so! Watching this video and reading your comment, now I get how that improbability drive is supposed to work.

[@LutzHerting]

Of course it is. It's even hinted at in the book: The book states that for the drive to work you need to calculate the exact probability that the ship is currently at the point you want to reach and once you switch the drive off, you are there. So in quantum-physics terms you would say that you calculate a non-local wave-function spanning the whole universe and then collapse it towards your target value.

[@LutzHerting]

And as a little bit of trivia: As I heard the story, the improbability drive wasn't in the book at first. But in the scene when Ford and Arthur are thrown out of an airlock, Douglas Adams was stuck. For days he couldn't think of ANY way how to save them from that. At some point - just for fun - he tried to calculate how improbable it would be for them to be rescued - and voila - the heart of gold was born and became one of the most important things in the whole series.

[@timscoviac]

Another problem with being able to walk through walls is you would also just fall through the floor and ground the moment you attempt to go through a wall since you activated your body to be able to pass through any solid you’d also pass through the ground as well since you can’t really just tell your atoms to only pass through the solid wall but not the solid ground. So in order to successfully be able to just walk through walls you’d also have to have the ability to levitate or fly, so when you turn on the ability to pass through solids you also hover a inch or two off the ground at the same time then move forward.

[@smartart6841]

But remember,he isnt completely gone. He would take the place pf the air he teleports into,pushing it,eventually pushing air into the displaced area

[@sirmuttonchops7353]

"Do you know how fast electrons (which is why 2 solids don't pass through each other in the first place), do you know how fast electrons wiggle? They wiggle fast enough to circle the Earth in 13 seconds. They already twerk this hard and they aren't passing through objects. I'm not passing through other objects. So, what do you think increasing your speed a little bit is gonna do, Barry?" Barry can, theoretically, move his electrons faster than that. The idea is that there exists a moment where particles are positioned in such a way that Barry's atoms can fit between (and move through) them. The heat/energy created by his vibrations essentially pushing him forward and disrupting the atomic structure of the object he's moving through. Going through objects is usually a slower process (very rarely does he go through something quickly, and it's kind of luck) in order to "fit" through these gaps. As for why clothes doesn't come off - the speed force creates an energy around him that protects him. It's the reason people don't burn up when he carries them out of a burning building, or why he doesn't die from coming to complete stops after running at such high speeds and his brain bounces off of his skull.

[@zolomendavid7277]

Amber Littlefield yep

[@handlefornate]

The point is, the Flash is not made of neutrinos- the particle that can pass through matter. Therefore, The Flash cannot pass through matter because he is not made of neutrinos. He is made up of the normal matter that neutrinos go through. Neutrinos are particles with a mass close to zero that rarely react to normal matter, the Flash is made of normal matter which has significantly greater mass, and interacts with other normal matter on a regular basis. "so technically as neutrinos are passing thru his matter the Flash he would be partly made up of neutrinos" Not how that works. If that was the case he would be traveling at speeds almost exactly the speed of light (speed at which neutrinos move) when he phases.

[@zolomendavid7277]

Nathaniel Hebert Flash is made of neutrinos when he recieved the speedforce

[@kagisoloeto2580]

If we consider De Broglie waves then wouldn't Flash's speed be high enough that his whole body can act as a short-wavelength particle wave which can then lead to the Quantum Tunneling. Basically could his speed still be a factor?

[@purgosgaming]

I have a theory. What if someone could control the levels of Lamnin molecules within their bodies.

[@keimori6006]

If I may offer an explanation as to why Juggernaut can't lift Thor's Hammer: Juggernaut isn't the brightest bulb, I think, assuming his powers are graviton based, he wouldn't realize he had such gravitational powers, because it happens so innately for him whenever he's on the move. So yes, he may have gravitation powers, but since he's always used them to, well, be the Juggernaut, he'd never think to apply them in any other fashion, because he doesn't have the frame of mind to even realize that his powers function so.

[@mordirit8727]

I think it's because it doesn't matter, isn't the question always about worthiness and not about the actual weight of the hammer? Otherwise any scrub could pick it up in outer space...

[@keimori6006]

Thiago Freitas True, but I think what Kyle was getting at is that once the "worthiness" detector was activated by Juggernaut's "unworth", as Mjolnir increases it's local gravity to make itself heavier, if Juggernaut could control gravitons, then he could combat Mjolnir but decreasing the gravity around it by an equal amount, thus canceling out both forces and therefore Mjolnir would become a simple hunk of metal on a stick, and thus be lifted and wielded by him. That would work; however, I'm arguing that it's not whiten Juggernaut's nature to realize that his powers are gravity based,(if they are) and therefore, he wouldn't think up the aforementioned solution, nor would he have the mental focus to constantly fight Mjolnir in order to bypass its security feature and wield it in battle.

[@mordirit8727]

Keimori that is still assuming the hammer's threshold of power is smaller than the Juggernaut's, which is unknown. Considering some of the beings that have failed to lift it, it's pretty safe to assume the hammer's potential to alter it's gravitational field is infinite, whereas almost no mutant has "infinite" power. Even if the Juggernaut keeps altering the gravity around it, the hammer could just counter it, right?

[@keimori6006]

Thiago Freitas Oh Absolutely. If Mjolnir's limits are beyond Juggernaut's by even a small fraction, the point is moot and Mjolnir stays right where it was laid down.

He wasn't saying The Flash wasn't fast enough.

[@mr.fat-head915]

"All incarnations of the Flash can move, think, and react at light speeds as well as having superhuman endurance that allows them to run incredible distances. Some, notably later versions, can vibrate so fast that they can pass through walls in a process called quantum tunneling, travel through time and can also lend and borrow speed. Furthermore, all members have an invisible aura around their bodies that prevents themselves and their clothes from being affected by air friction as they move at high speed." SCIENCE !!!!!!! XD

[@ElNeroDiablo]

Regarding Cyclops, his sight and glasses - the Marvel Comics Wiki (which contains information that is all OFFICIALLY released) covers how his visor and glasses work. Basic gist is: The ruby quartz lenses filter out and block the energy beams (from the pocket dimension hidden behind and access through his eyes) whilst letting him see the world around him safely, just with a red tint to everything. The visor has a panel of the ruby quartz that is angled up (visor open) or down (visor closed) by small motors controlled by touching the ear cups on either side, with springs to provide positive pressure and keep the panel down (fail-safe shutoff if the motors stop working for whatever reason).

[@montshooliyani4114]

The end of the vid is what gets me.I seriously just asked a few days ago, why don't the phasers just fall through the floor or ground. And when they lift their feet to phase through, is gravity not pulling them down? And the heroes aren't always just hopping through the walls.

[@MaskedGEEK]

The outro reminds me of a paradox: what would happen if an unstoppable object (Juggernaut) meets an unmovable object (Mjölnir)? Gotta be a future episode.

[@Nerdist]

I have to do this now. -- KH

[@hydron3299]

+Nerdist Hype!!!!!

[@Spenceoid]

Would there be a cancellation of force? If I remember correctly, Mjolnir is forged from a neutron star (super dense) so it would depend on the max velocity at which the Juggernaut can achieve to convey his near limitless momentum into contact with the hammer.

[@w.p.h.7843]

Unstoppable Juggernaut v. Immovable Blob. That would be a good show down

[@MaskedGEEK]

+Jamie Spence Remember what Kyle said about Juggernaut? It's not about the velocity of Juggernaut. It's about his mass. When you see him smashing through the walls in X-Men? He's running pretty much at the same normal speed as a human. So he must be able to change his mass, or weight, in order to be unstoppable when running at full speed. I can't fully remember so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Mjölnir used against the Hulk to try and pacify him on that huge floating aircraft carrier in Avengers Assemble? Pretty sure if Mjölnir can lay the smack down on Hulk, it'll take more than just Juggernaut's velocity to be moved.

[@lucaswarde3411]

is it bad that I laughed way too hard at the joke at the end?

[@Nerdist]

I'll allow it. -- KH

[@LincolnDWard]

In answer to the Cyclops question, Scott's eye-beams are blasts of force that come through wormholes in his eyes. The glasses contain quartz crystals that act as a filter to only let in certain frequencies of light. The wormholes only open in response to certain frequencies of light, so all the glasses have to do is filter out those frequencies in order to "turn off" Cyclops' powers. In other words, he can see because the glasses only filter out certain colors while allowing others to pass through. So what he sees through them is strangely colored (in the comics it looks kind of yellow or orange) but still plenty clear enough to allow him to go through everyday life.

[@Thaumh]

What about J'onn J'onzz? Also, of the three examples you gave in this episode, Kitty Pride's explanation is the most plausible sounding outside of Quantum Tunneling, even if it is wrong.

[@jamievschannel]

I think you should explain more about cyclop's powers more and what does he see while blasting everything with his optic blast..Yeah, if cyclops is not wearing his ruby lens glasses? Is he seeing everything red while blasting everybody ? So confusing. By the way, thanks for uploading because science, I learned many awesome things because of this show..... Kyle, you ROCK

[@barebottombandit1621]

How doesn't his optic blast just go right through his eyelids?

[@Frogchamp69]

+Ricky Khau okay his blasts from his eyes are not laser they are a concussive blast and his body just like havoc a has a sort of energy field as explained in the comics so when he closes his eyes it doesn't blow them off. As you can see in apocalypse when he first gets his powers it doesn't melt the stall door and doesn't kill the bully but knock him back and crumbles the ceiling not melting it.

[@barebottombandit1621]

+Carter Boltz Sweet, thanks for the answer.

[@jamievschannel]

Thanks that helped a lot.

[@alexrogers1324]

I though in one of the comics they state his "laser vision" was that his eyes were some kind of portal thingy in which the laser comes through but not his purple but parts of the iris.

[@Sheol02]

Cyclops eyes are portals to another dimension with an infinite amount of energy. His body is emitting a special bionic field that closes those portals upon contact (that's why he doesn't lose his eyelids when he closes his eyes) Ruby-Quartz lens in his glasses and visor act like a conductor of this field, clothing portals even when his eyes are open.

[@Nerdist]

Now do you see why I try to come up with simpler, more realistic answers to stuff? That sh** sounds crazy to me. -- KH

[@Sheol02]

Yeah, I see why: because science :D

I'd like to know how slo-mo drug from Judge Dredd works.

[@Nerdist]

I would guess the drugs are altering the brain's perception of time, effectively increasing our "frame rate." -- KH

[@porrero69]

Thanks for answering my question :)

[@Nerdist]

Yo I'd try a drug that made me see like a Phantom camera. -- KH

[@porrero69]

+Nerdist But if something you couldn't avoid hited you, it would be frustrating to see it coming and won't been able to do something

[@direwolf8703]

Wouldn't something like that have to speed up the neurological signals being sent to your brain to the point where everything moving at normal speed is going in slow motion similar to how the flash or quicksilver see things when they're going at their super speeds? Although that in theory would then trigger your fight or flight response faster not necessarily to the point where you can dodge bullets but maybe catch an arrow or dodge a punch if you're trained enough to do so

[@ZarPof]

I always just figured kitty pride changed her quarks to, instead of up and down, a 'left and right' charged (non-existent charge type). Ones that had no attraction or repulsion to any other matter except her own. What this would mean? Essentially her body would become neutrinos to the rest of the universe but to her own body (or someone she chooses to phase with) the forces holding the quarks into atoms wouldn't have noticed a single difference.

[@jhonnythejeccer6022]

Kitty pride (hopefully spelled right) says that she could move her atoms through the spaces between other atoms So, what if she could debond every single atom in her body for a moment (in case they dont expand and move around to just vaporise her), so her atoms can pass other atom structures? I dont know if there is enough space inside atom structures to move every atom through it, but she has to be able to control the movement of her atoms, so they dont hit other atoms (its really rare, but its possible)

[@mrcrabbs5080]

Question: if you cut dead pool exactly in half, would he regenerate into 2 different people?

[@jasminegebilaguin3293]

no, the side with his heart would regenerate and the other side would die

[@Nerdist]

This is in an upcoming episode! -- KH

[@Saimeren]

Likewise, if you cut his head off.. Does the head regenerate a new body, and heart, or does his body regenerate a new head, and brain?

[@rico_fed]

Wouldn't he try to attach the 2 halves together and then let the healing factor do the rest?

[@joshwilson7736]

Could the Juggernaut trip over Mjolnir? This has probably been covered in the comics somewhere.

[@Nerdist]

I'm going to have to do this anyway! -- KH

[@christophermontalvo9443]

+Nerdist hello I know this might be a dumb question but energy can change into many different forms and that matter can equal energy or famous equation m=mc2 so I was wondering if somehow the superhero can change its molecular structure into energy and pass through objects but the reason I think that why it might have been a dumb question is because that the energy inside the amount of matter in a person is so much it could be equivalent to an atomic bomb but if you like to look into it it will be nice if you could. :-)

[@buppington]

I have this feeling that Kyle is alone in that room.

[@Nerdist]

Just me and my camera dude. -- KH

[@MauiSponge]

+Nerdist I love watching your videos and learning from you , but do you have a camera operator ( a camera dude) ? Or it's just you and your camera, dude? Sincerely asking. #BecausePunctuation

[@Nerdist]

I write and produce everything in the show. I have one camera dude, and one fantastic editor who does the animations. That's pretty much it. -- KH

[@Longlivetheoutcasts]

In other words ghost is the only one explaining it right

[@solank7620]

I think he kind of missed the point of the Cyclops question at the end. The guy wasn’t asking how Cyclops can see through the visor. He was saying the blast should make him blind. That’s a good question, I never thought of it. The blast itself should block Cyclops’ vision.

[@nickbrown532]

So r u saying that the flash isnt fast enough to vibrate like that

[@jodyboles8208]

no.... i doesnt matter how fast you are. vibration doesnt work like that and allow you to pass through walls

[@julekmeister]

Actually it is canon that the Flash can move at least as fast as light, so he can vibrate faster than electrons move. But it still wouldn't enable him to phase through walls.

[@Canadian_Zac]

Maybe he actually does it with the time travel. He time travels for a short time, to when that object isn't there, then comes back when he comes out the other side?

[@julekmeister]

Than in some cases he must time travel years or even centuries to phase through a tree or a rock. Besides, he is shown to phase only parts of his body - I think that would kill him.

[@Phantom8941]

or just a couple of moments because the earth is constantly moving by both spinning and moving in its orbit.

[@tacehtxilef]

What if Thor threw Mjolnir when Juggernaut ran towards Thor?

Why someone wants to pass trough solid things? You just need to use explosives

[@hkm93]

Whenever I've read about flash phasing through stuff, not today, not yesterday but ages ago, I've always seen the term Quantum Tunneling associated with it.

[@SuperWeirdwizard]

What I got out of that, is that phasing through objects is just probability based teleportation, they aren't going through the object, they are just appearing on the other side. But there's a chance of it, and those people are just able to give themselves a higher chance of teleporting, while the example ball had the set chance.

[@rebelbeammasterx8472]

My superpower is throwing a literal wall of bricks.

[@Borstian]

Hello Kyle, I am really nitpicking here, but the graphic you show at 4:00 ist partially incorrect, as it assumes that the barrier leaves the probability density left and right of the barrier, and even within the barrier unchanged. I am slightly rusty when it comes to this stuff, but as I recall the formula for the tunneling probability of a partical that has a mass unequal zero, the probability density to find said particel decreases exponentially within the barrier und as a result causes also a reduced probability density on the other side of the barrier. That said, awesome video.

[@MegaMachiOnline]

also you forgot martian manhunter

[@spensersowards7904]

I'd just like to point out that, in the comics, the Flash is light speed. He's faster than electrons. Does that change anything?

[@samuraininjamaster]

Faster than light speed even.

[@linusw7162]

Does light pass through walls just like that? No

[@spensersowards7904]

LAW ninetynine ... That is so far away from the point we're discussing.

[@momanholo3070]

If Flash was faster than electrons then he wouldn't be having electrons, instead it would be left behind him, his limit does exist.

[@ThrottleKitty]

Going 'faster' then light speed would send you back in time, not make you move faster. If you were moving fast enough to effect the electrons in an object you interact with so dramatically, the electrons in your body would be completely destroyed first. This show is about science, bro.

[@dontedoestuff]

I AM SO MUCH FUCKING SMARTER NOW!

[@dumbghost3109]

I like the way ben ten handles it. "ghost is a ghost and is completely incorporeal when it wants to be. therefore walk through wall"

[@thisisglobness6315]

When The Flash phases through a wall to get rid of the bomb anklet, he would just need to run fast enough to phase through objects so the anklet would just fall off.

[@IvanJMF_22]

I'm here because of flash

[@TheFlash-je3bl]

I feel like further exploration of each of these heroes using quantum tunneling would be entertaining, like how Kitty affects technology...also, Blob VS. JUGGERNAUT!

[@noname-ur8pf]

The Flash is connected to the Speed Force which allows him to do stuff like that and Vision is powered by a freaking INFINITY STONE!!!

[@aikar111]

my hero academia (right manga reader)

[@sekilhos4176]

I know, right?

[@Ahmau_]

So electrons can go around the Earth in 13 seconds. Ok, Flash can go around from one end of the universe to the other in less than a plank instant. So Flash is probably able to vibrate fast enough to phase through an object.

[@lorekeeper685]

Ahmed Mauri yes but he is So fast ait should be like obsidian wall are getting hypernovas

[@theflash8420]

thats stupid the flash can circle the earth in an attosecond, im not kidding

[@QTpyeRose]

... science say no. particles in the air when he runs into them would put and insane amount of force on an insanely small place. it would shred right threw him.

[@Jindorek]

tho he does supposedly think and move in attoseconds even he can not boast that. besides. this is what happens when some comic writer gets drunk and tries to justify something insane. I love superheroes, but i wish their writers would stop trying to use science to explain their powers.

[@theflash8420]

aspwil that's what the speed force is for it can literally bend the laws of physics so the flash doesn't go BOOM!

[@GamesFromSpace]

Even light is nowhere near that fast. So if he's doing that (which he isn't, not even in the comics), then he's completely disobeying all physics as it works in our universe. And if that is true, then no explanation could possibly make sense as science.

[@theflash8420]

Joshua Pearce thats what he does, he defies physics, it wount happen in real life n=but in the comics he can

[@menchacism5327]

So if you could control electrons, would you be able to phase through stuff?

[@nobodyimportant4778]

You could launch electrons through stuff. But only really, really thin stuff

[@CiabanItReal]

Well, the other answer is that instead of controlling your particles and phasing them through objects, the alternative is controlling other particles and letting them phase through another object possibly yourself, possibly others, which would explain how kitty pride can phase Juggernaught through the floor.

[@dankmemelikecrazy767]

comics say that flash vibrates his MOLECULES if he vibrates everything fast enough he would be able to phase

[@Darkdragon902.]

Dank meme Like crazy Molecules are still in part made of electrons just as all atoms are, so he still wouldn’t be able to phase.

[@gordonpritchett2761]

Darkdragon902 atoms are made of protons and neutrons. Which are made quirks (not 100% sure on the spelling) and something else. Which are made of I think glueons (again not 100% sure on the spelling). Electrons are an entirely different thing all together. Now it’s also important to point out that I’m not actually 100% sure on anything I just said. Maybe you actually do know more than I do. I did research on that years ago and I don’t remember everything about it. And this isn’t a serious enough thing to make me care to research it again. So if I actually am wrong, let me know, I’ll be happy to admit it if you can show me how.

[@Darkdragon902.]

Gordon Pritchett I’m sure you are more correct than I was.

[@marioruiz8098]

Dosent he vibrate his whole body including the suit faster than electrons so wouldnt he be able to phase through

[@koodude2313]

2:25 I laughed so hard at that, much more then I should have...

[@Illusionaire]

This is based on a comic strip... At 13:57 local time, a low-yield nuclear warhead exploded in the city of Chongjin, North Korea. At 13:57 and 0.00001 microseconds, half a million Koreans seemed to materialize on a hilltop 35 miles away from the blast. They were carried there one at a time, sometimes two. Therefore, if speed of light = 186,000 miles per second Total distance Flash travelled to bring one set of people to safety - 35 * 2 = 70 miles. Since it is said that he carried one or two people at one time, let’s take an average of 1.5 people per set. Hence, he travelled 70 miles 354,667 times, Which is equal to 24,826,690 miles. Time taken to do that was - 0.00001 microsecond (and 1 microsecond is 1 millionth of a second) So time in seconds is - 0.00001 / 1,000,000 = 0.00000000001 seconds So the speed, Flash was travelling at was - 24,826,690 / 0.00000000001 ≈ 2,482,669,000,000,000,000 miles per second. Hence, Flash was travelling at - 2,482,669,000,000,000,000 / 186000 ≈13,000,000,000,000 times the speed of light. Which is 13 trillion times the speed of light. Hence, Barry’s fastest speed so far is 13 trillion times the speed of light. Hope this helps!
