It's also quantifiable if we have information like time and distance.

We're getting into really heavy territory here with you, having to divide one value to another to get the speed, but try to stay strong.

I think that carver means that if the person who wrote the feat or story did not give a speed number, then neither can the fans of a character. There is NO way to tell how fast a character is moving by calculations or fan boosted speeds. Carvers knows 100% that gladiator was traveling at 100 times light speed, 100% quantifiable. If no speed was given, then that number would be fan boosted to millions of times light speed like certain characters get that have not one speed feat showing a given speed number of at least 10 times light speed. Example... Flash saved all those people and was claimed by people to be moving thousands of times light speed, when the writer himself stated it was just shy of light speed. even with a number it was fan boosted. 2. flash fought zoom and it was stated by the writer that the speed was light speed and not one of his friends was fast enough to help when a number is given, yet when no numbers are given, fans tend to make up speeds. To sum it up, numbers speak louder than point A to B guessing. If we guess, then characters like spiderman, ironman, rogue and a lot others are light fast by point A to point B logic. This is comics, not a college room. Real life calcalations dont work on comics.

Of course they do, if the information to determine them is present. If there's not enough information to tell (which often happens) or the information we have is contradictory (which also often happens), you can't calculate it.

But if you have a guy who runs 100 miles in 1 hour, and both of those facts are clearly know, of course you can say he is running at 100 miles per hour. That's just common sense.

If you know the time and you know the distance.... you know the speed. By your logic I could speed and tell the cops that their ladar/radar guns are lies because distance/time doesn't calculate speed and that they would have to know and prove my speedometer was faster than the speed limit.

Writers who write comics do not go by distance and time like Cops do. Writers do not take into consideration how fast a character is moving by judging things like real life events, they dont have radar guns aimed at comic book characters. They give numbers and such because comics dont follow real life rules. A real life spiderman or batman would never dodge a bullet fired on target at them. 95% of the fights in comics that go on for pages/issues would not last one minute if they were real life. Writers are more prone to the story than to waste time on how fast a character is going. BUT when they give you a number, it tells you something. Example. Again. Flash and Zoom were fighting at light speed. The writer made that clear as day. He also made it VERY clear that not one of flash friends could help him, in other words, the writer ( not the fans ) using light speed plainly stated that WW, MM, CM, Superman and the rest of the JLA could not match nor surpass that speed. This is with numbers, not time or distance. Distance and time has never calculated speed in a comic because writers NEVER use real life calculations when writing comics.

Do you think that writer used time and distance when flash moved all those people??? NO he used " just shy of light speed ". Use time and distance and see what number you come up with for that same moving of those people.
