light slows down as soon as it enters a medium, depending on the medium to what degree.

soo in turn your saying that the speed of light slows once it enters the earth's atmosphere?

Bingo.

It's only 300,000 km/s when in a vacuum (space).

but then that still raises a question......is quicksliver running at the speed of light according to lights speed in the vacuum or on earth?

Imo it really doesn't matter much because i still believe flash is faster and not to mention all those pesky flash facts! lol

I think comics always refer to the vacuum speed of light.

well i guess that would be a good way to emphasize a speedster's speed

hermes him self out ran flash though

with ease. he did.

Quicksilver was running fast enough that his avengers comm couldn't pick up a signal. Low-end, fast enough to cause enough doppler effects to prevent it from picking up, high-end, faster than the speed of radio through atmosphere.

yes your right but also no....depending on the radio waves...in an open empty vacuum radio waves move at the speed of light but on earth radio waves are said to move slightly below the speed of light.

Yes I'm aware, but he said he was still running faster then radio waves which would still be close or at lightspeed.

Personally I think the writer meant to say sound waves

Bingo

Quicksilver without recent power up.

Just so you know, there's a pretty impressively large gap between the speed of light in a vacuum, and radio waves through atmosphere.

Do you know the actual value? Personally I don't know. I tried to look up some figures and some articles said it was close to lightspeed...but that's the internet for ya

But now that Quicksilver runs faster than lightspeed on Earth...

but barry always has been able to and by quite alot

im not 100% sure but i think the diffrence is a little over 100,000 Kilometer per second

If this happened to Wally, there was a time Wally was only barely faster than Superman. He's gotten a lot faster since, and Barry is at least as fast...

Barry Allen fought with Black Adam at Mach 500, people were literally statues they were moving so fast. Wally is so much faster than Barry it's laughable. Flash wins.

Did you mean Jay?

I did mean Jay Garrick. But I thought Wally was the fastest, then Barry and Jay.

Wally was faster than Barry, that's been changed I heard, but it wasn't by a huge margin iirc.

Barry could go ftl.

Does Bart still not have his speed?
