Infinite Speed

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

If one is to move a infinite distance would they have infinite speed? Here are some scenario's based on this idea, which ones count as infinite speed and which ones don't?

Character A travels infinite distance in 5 seconds

Character A fires an infinite amount of projectiles towards Character B, the latter performs a punch rush and manages to counter all infinite projectiles.

1) You can't travel an infinite distance in "X" amount of time, you will be running for eternity

2) What do you mean exactly?

In this scenario, the character travels the infinite distance in a 5 second timeframe.

1) You can't travel an infinite distance in "X" amount of time, you will be running for eternity
2) What do you mean exactly?

1) Technically you can by using subsets of infinity. I can explain more if you'd like.

2) I assume he means something like what happened in Saint Seiya Assassin where Sigurd summoned an infinite amount of blades to shower down on Seiya and Seiya performed a Pergasus Ryu Sei Ken to counter them all.

Countering an infinite number of projectiles

1) I think you broke logic. Infinite means "no limit", for a distance, it means "without end" so you CAN'T complete it in "5 seconds" just like that

2) That can be a Infinite speed, if they are Infinite and not just a epithet, of course.

Ignoring that fact that those things are generally very ill-defined and the result logical paradoxes... I guess so.

Though for 1) if he didn't run in a circle (or similar) infinite times you get the problem that the statement can not be true.

Does moving in a void give you infinite speed?
