Flash and his IMP
I know the IMP stands for infinity mass punch, but what exactly does he do when he performs this manauver and how powerful is it?

powerful enough to knock out a Superman-level durable white martian with one punch and knock him into the stratosphere and into Africa.

Yeah... sorry but a white martian isn't as durable as Superman.

If flash suppose to be invulnerable when he's doing his IMP? Or does Newton's third law not matter in this case?

The speed force protects him.

How much durability does it give him? Could Flash stand toe to toe with superman with the speedforce aura around him?

Theoretically.... yes. And the speed force also give Wally an insane healing factor.

Run really fast. That's really the jist of all of his super punches.

The theory is the faster something goes the more mass it gains, if something (that wasn't massless) managed to achieve lightspeed it would have 'infinite mass', and so the idea is Flash's punches are much more powerful the faster he goes as there is more mass behind them.
Of course something with mass cannot reach lightspeed, and something cannot have 'infinite mass' as it would have infinite gravity and destroy the universe or something, so its all just crazy comic book science.

The beauty of it is the short and ONLY answer to that is: Speed Force.
There's not a whole lot of details about it so nobody can say what it can't do. It's like magic based on running.

I love the SF , it answers all those annoying little questions such as : "Why doesn't flashes skin rip off when he runs past (insert certain speed) he should surely die ! "

The speedforce is the source of all kinetic energy.
Flash is basically the god of motion.

even tho its comic book science i do give a little credence to the IMP thing cuz we've seen in a recent X-men comic where Aurora was tagging the shit outta them with her finger nails, at several times the speed of sound.

So im assuming basically he hits almost light speed and goes to not having mass and before hitting the individual, reverts to a slightly slower momentum to have mass again in order to throw the punch? That will make no sense to anyone but me....haha...oh well

the reason why FURTHER credence needs to be given...Supreme apparently made the same observation in Ish#46 back in 96..tho the main difference was he was in space at the time

Yep, a move that could perice through steel just at twice the speed of sound.

No.Because while it brings him up to supes raw punch strength it doesn't account for Supes night IMP punches combined with his crazy strenght.
