The Flash "Fact" This might help you in Flash VS. matches.

For those who don't know what that means;

E = Energy i.e. the stuff that makes other stuff move

M = Mass i.e. stuff in general

C = The Speed of light.

If you increase C by a substantial amount, energy releases from the most simple reactions increase substantially. All the events i mentioned in my previous post require energy reactions. If the energy given off is greater, then the stuff will move more substantially.

If C in the D.C. universe is faster than ours, exothermic reactions will have far greater energy releases. Obviously there would have to be an extrenal factor, preventing the excess energy from ripping particles apart. But when you have meta physical plot devices such as magic and the source, then whose to say what is and isn't possible ?

Got me, blood ?

no, the writer clearly stated his speed was lesser than light's and the explosive effects of the bomb also exhibit that as well. flash was not done transporting citizens before the blast developed a mushroom cloud, what else do you need? (the blast should still be a white hot orb if flash was doing multiples of light speed easily)

and astner already went over the math, also depicting lower than light speed.

E=mc2 refers only to direct matter energy equivalency. I don't know of any reason that increasing the speed of light would make reactions that do not rely on that more powerful, but physics it's my strong suit.

Yeah my theory only works if the D.C.'s universes big bang was many, many many times more powerful than ours. Then the equivalency would then be applicable to the DC U

Do I need to get Creshosk up in here?

Speaking of which, where is he ? I haven't seen him in a long time.

I think he's married, or off with his girlfriend or something.

Something along those lines.

Whose that, and why ?

he's not married.

unless he eloped within the last week.

Well... he left KMC for entirely different reasons. But he's permanently gone.

Details?

I don't really understand what everyone qualms are with the incident described. Super heroes regularly defy the laws of physics. Well our physics. Whose to say the speed of light in the D.C. isn't heck of lot more faster in thqn ours ? It would explain lot; i.e. why Superman can make it to the Sun and back in a matter of seconds, why he gets so much power from Sunlight, why you only need a few hundred nukes and not trillions to knock the earth out of orbit. Why simple electrical systems can give beings enough power to fly, why enhanced metabolisms can give beings nuclear level power etc.

Actually this would be a neat lil' comicological explanation. I think you should work it up, send it in and see what DC says. Hey, ya never know.

I even came up with a quasi scientific explanation for why the D.C. universes physical laws seem almost identical to ours. As i mentioned previously if C in the D.C. universe is a lot faster than the traditional 300,000 km a sec (I've rounded down a lot here) then there's going to be a lot more energy around when ever any reaction takes place. So why doesn't this extra energy blow the D.C. matter apart? Well, maybe it leaks into higher dimensions, like gravity supposedly does in our universe.

Its baffled scientist since the early 1900's why gravity is so much weaker than the other forces. The general consensus from most theoretical physicists nowadays is that gravitons seep out of our 3 Dimensional space time, like water through a colander. Obviously some of the gravitons do remain, as we experience gravity all the time. Maybe D.C. EM radiation works in the same way. Maybe the excess energy from a far the far more energetic reactions, filter through the D.C. higher dimensions, like Graity does in ours.

Sorry Im and absolute uber geek !

You're certainly not alone. I've always thought that being able to see 4D light was a better explanation for Superman's X-ray vision than . . . well X-ray vision.

Actually there's theory that pre existed M- theory called the Kluza Klein theory that says that Light ( and all Em radiation) is 4 dimension space vibrating. In other words electron interactions literally cause the fourth Dimension to dance, cool heh ?

But it's still an interesting theory.

While we're on the subject does anyone know why E=mc^2?

Duh. But why c^2? It seems far less arbitrary than most of the stuff in physics.
