Nah, I shall give credit where it is due.

If that was the case you would have acknowledged Flash's statement instead of your strawman attempt.

Which I did, and I pointed out this doesn't contradict anything, you literally need to add your own words to make the sentence become wrong

Well, I guess you can argue Flash can't acclerate to 99% of light speed in the space of a femtosecond based on the scan.

But I don't think it can be used to argue Flash is sub-lightspeed due to the reason I said above. Since Cyborg should be talking about the acceleration, not the speed it hits the target

At least, in the scan, Cyborg only talked about acceleration of the drones, not it's speed. Does it accelerate beyond 99% lightspeed? never mentioned, but on the other hand, it also didn't mention it stops accelerating after the femtosecond it reached 99% lightspeed, you also need to add something to make the drones' speed capped at 99% lightspeed

It contradicts the fine joke abhi and Smurph made.

Hmmm ..... edit your statement to remove the acceleration portion and you'd be correct

No.

What's the confusion? "Faster acceleration" is often used to describe a greater rate of change of velocity, e.g. "A Porsche 911 Turbo S accelerates faster than a Ferrari 488 GTB."

It's not confusion it's fear.

Flash stated the drones were faster. Cyborg stated the acceleration to 99 percent of the speed of light in a femtosecond. Both statements are true yet here we are, grasping at straws.

Doesn't Astner's post basically support what I said?

Hmm, I don't think Cyborg means its moving sub-lightspeed at the time it hits the target. Because light can only travel 300 nanometers in a femtosecond

So it is more likely Cyborg was talking about it's acceleration, not the speed its moving at that time

I.E it is the rate of change of velocity, not the velocity/speed. You're confusing the two

Faster can refer to either the speed: 99% of the speed of light, or the acceleration: 2.97⋅10²³ ms⁻².

If we were to attempt to rationalize this based off the Flash's portfolio of feats the latter seems like the more reliable interpretation.

No Astner only supports himself.

Again no. Did flash state that the drones were faster than him? That's literally all I care about. Cyborg's statement is irrelevant. Yes or no.

No, what I said is Astner's post, which explained the difference between velocity/speed and acceleration. And it will make huge two different interpretations for that scene( see another Astner's post above)

Both answers are yes, however, it can be true without gravely contradicting anything we know about Flash so far. If you interpret Flash was referring to the acceleration(2.97⋅10²³ ms⁻²) here

Again I don't care about Astner's opinion. I only care about Flash saying those drones were faster than him. I'm not interpreting anything other than Flash saying those drones were faster. Nothing else matters.

Well, then the answer is yes. The drones were faster than him......I feel you didn't read my post at all, because I never disagreed this. 🙁

This is a absurd position because you're not ascribing any meaning to the scene. You're just reciting what it says, and there's no contention in regards to what's being said. The contention pertains to what "faster" refers to: is it speed, or acceleration?

If you don't want to take a position on this then you're not part of the debate.

You didn't disagree you added caveats.

Shush, I wasn't talking to you

Love you too, Sin 👆

If Sin wasn't in this forums I would've probably never come back after my last leave

Because she's the only other woman on kmc?
