So while going through this thread I saw just how much confusion there is on what infinite and immesuarable speed are and what qualifies one for them.
First lets get the definitions straight.
Infinite Speed
Simply put in order have infinite speed one has to be able to cross an infinite distance in a finite amount of time or cross a distance in literally no time (0 seconds), achieving what's the equivalent of a Time Stop with speed alone.
Immeasurable
This one is more complicated, you have to be able to move beyond linear time i.e. be able to move back and forth through time as if it was another spacial axis achieving Time Travel through speed alone.
Timeless Voids
And this is where confusions sets in as a timeless void is a place where time has stopped or where there is no time. So moving in these spaces would qualify one for infinite or immessurable speed, right? Well..
First of moving in a stopped time does mean that you are performing an action in 0 seconds, yes but does it mean that outside of said stopped time you can move at infinite speeds? Often times no as it's usually the character having some type of ability allowing them to do so rather then them being able to move at infinite speeds. Example: Dio vs Jotaro
Second of since the formula for speed is S = D/T that means that in a space devoid of time T is absent from and thus any and all actions performed cannot be calculated, they're immeasurable. But the fact that they're immeasurable by defenition doesn't mean that they fit the description noted above.
This leads to a lot of confusion it seems, in my opinion moving in any of these hardly qualifies you for either rating as speed is a measurement of distance traveled per unit of time and in space with no time there is no speed.
Thoughts?
