When you talk about movies, you have to mix a bunch of different elements to give any sense to what the director is trying to show you.
In this case, he was saying something like: [B]Hey, this guy is so ****ing fast that time slows a LOT for him when he "speeds up"
. He wasn't writting a paper about physics.-Maybe he has some kinetic bullshit field? we don't ****ing know. (Clearly he wasn't affected from kinetic force from external elements, but he did affect them, greatly)
-How fast was he going? again we don't ****ing know, but loooking at how his timeframe elapsed, yeah... he was at a relativistic speed of 99.999998% the speed of light.
Nice "argument" 🙄 [/B]
Wow. Just... wow. "Common sense", you say? By showing you the link to what happens to objects approximating the speed of light, I WAS using common sense. 😎
But, since "we are here to discuss it", and most of your statements consist of "we don't ****ing know", but "yeah, he was at... 99.9... % the speed of light", let's analyse the scene to clear up some of your "we don't ****ing know"s using "common sense", if that will make you happy.
Bullets from a 9 mil have a muzzle velocity of about 350 meters/second. If those guys are standing 10 meters apart, that means the bullets in real time would take about 0.028 seconds to cover the distance. From Quicksilver's perspective, it takes about 40 seconds for the bullets to cover the distance.
Therefore, his speeded-up perception and movements are demonstrated to be about 1,400 times faster than a human being. Bolt runs at about 12.2 meters per second. Since QS moves about 1,400 times faster, he runs at about 17,000 meters / second, or about 17 km/second. The speed of light is about 300 000 km/second. Therefore, QS is traveling at about 0.00006 the speed of light.
Superman, on the other hand, is shown to reach speeds of about 200 km/second during his fight with Zod. This is about 11 times faster than Quicksilver.
I hope you prefer this argument. 😮💨
*Edit* Whoops, my bad. Watched the scene again and timed it, it takes about twice as long as I thought, closer to 80 seconds. So, to be very generous and much more fair, let's make QS 3,000 times faster than human in that scene. That enables him to reach about 35 km/second. Congratulations! He is now only 0.0001 the speed of light. 😄
Or, to get back to topic, about 5 to 6 times slower than Superman. 😉
