As you approach light speed don't you get thinner and thinner? And longer and longer? If that's the case, Blob can expect to receive something like a pin prick.

None of this explains how he could hurt Blob. Are Flash's atoms slamming against Blob's atoms? Is the "force" being thrown at him? I thought the force existed in a different dimension...If Flash's atoms are actually hitting Blob's, wouldn't that cause damage to both parties? All that equal and opposite reaction stuff has to come into play
Because Flash gets his speed from the Speed Force, it creates an aura around him that protects him from impact and also allows him to negate sonic booms and not get fried by wind resistance.

I'm sure Flash wouldn't have trouble moving Blob considering Flash has knocked people across the planet. He pulls a spidey and gets knocked back with material still sticking to his feet when he's moved.I think there would be the illusion of becoming longer at that point because you're running into more light beams. Like how you get more wet if you run in the rain because you run into the raindrops.

It doesn't protect him from impact... Flash has broken his nose a few times by accidentally running into stuff.

Well the one time he kinda did it on purpose in order to break Power Ring's field. But yeah, he's made plenty of mistakes before. He takes measures to protect himself from impact (i.e. must catch bullets with a certain movement so as not to break his wrist).
I think of it like this: If a normal person could punch something without hurting their hand, Flash could punch the same thing at near-lightspeed without hurting himself. But if he was punching a giant boulder or something, I bet he would. But who knows, I certainly don't have any specific examples to reference, so feel free to shoot me down.

And to the other guys above: if he taps the speedforce, he doesn't actually have to touch the opponent, they are hit with energy before his hand collides.
And why catch the bullet, when he could stick a finger out and suck the energy from it?

Actually whirly, mass is constant. It doesn't increase, even when traveling at near light speed.Inertial mass (resistance to acceleration) on the other hand, increases towards infinity when approaching light speed. Therefore, it requires an infinte amount of energy to accelerate to light speed.
The speed force prevents that.
This defies logic.
The mass is constant but the object has become infinitely contracted (small) under normal circumstances (even crazier) and yes the speed force stops this so we could assume is supplying infinite energy and mass to every particle in the Flash's body with no relativistic effects 😕 madness - but thats th speedforce.
