I would like to argue that there are a few problems with speed tiering on this site. First of all, infinite speed. This is poorly defined and incorrect as to what infinite speed actually means. To achieve infinite speed, all one has to do is travel an infinite distance in any finite amount of time. This is exemplified by the speed equation: D / T = S. Dividing infinity by any finite number still yields infinity, so infinite distance traversed in finite time is infinite speed. Obviously, a huge amount of time taken to travel infinite distance is a lower degree of infinite speed than a small amount of time.
Next, there should be an inaccessible speed tier placed above infinite and below immeasurable. Currently, infinite is defined as "moving while time literally stands still," but as I've shown, this classification is clearly incorrect, that's why I argue there needs to be an inaccessible speed tier, defined by moving when time stands still (equals zero). This is defined by the speed equation: Any finite distance / 0 = inaccessible. no matter how low you make the denominator in the infinite speed equation, you can never reach inaccessible speed, as your movement is still reliant on time. Hence the name: inaccessible.
So in summary. Infinite speed should not be described as moving while time stands still, and should instead be described by moving an infinite distance in finite time, as I've shown. Moving where time stands still (equals zero), should be given a new tier, inaccessible.
