Was given permission to post this from Promestein in this thread. In that thread, the topic of the validity of certain infinite speed feats came up; specifically, those that rely on reaching the 'edge' of a supposedly infinite space. The problem here is obvious; an infinite space cannot logically have an edge, so these sorts of feats should be invalid. Anything the involves crossing an infinite space (since you have to move past the edge of something in order to reach it) or filling an infinite space in a finite period of time (to fill something completely you'd have to reach the outer edges of it) would also be affected. Off the top of my head, here are a few verses and feats that would need to be axed if we stop using these kinds of feats.
-The protagonists of Imperishable Night flying to the end of Kaguya's infinite corridor (Touhou Project)
-Necrozma's light crossing all of Ultra Space (Pokemon)
-Helios' light filling the entirety of the Underworld (God of War)
And likely quite a few others.
Our current speed standards allow for such feats, since it explicitly mentions that crossing an infinite space in a finite period of time is a good qualifier for infinite speed. This thread will (hopefully) act as a way to discuss if those standards should remain.
