U are asking if there was no time? Like a timeless void?Here's my question.
For S = D/T, What would moving D without T qualify as if this is removed?
It's definitely not infinite, so it would be something else. What would it be?
S = D/T where T = 0 I'm presuming you're talking about was agreed to be infinite on this wiki, then a timeless void thread was made to argue that characters can't be that level with timeless voids because t =/= 0 in them but rather undefined, I disagree with this principle 100% but this is currently how the wiki treats it. For now if your guy moves somewhere in 0 time and it's specifically stated then it's treated as Infinite here I believe.Here's my question.
For S = D/T, What would moving D without T qualify as if this is removed?
It's definitely not infinite, so it would be something else. What would it be?
Short answer: manyYep.
I was planning on adding a verse that had that qualification in the near future. What would that fit as if not immeasurable?
Also, how many hundreds to thousands of profiles would need to be thought about for Immeasurable afterwards?
It's not just like "removal", they would have to have a CRT for everybody who qualified for Immeasurable or at least who had it on their page.
Only Infinite -_- Damn. Thanks for explaining though.S = D/T where T = 0 I'm presuming you're talking about was agreed to be infinite on this wiki, then a timeless void thread was made to argue that characters can't be that level with timeless voids because t =/= 0 in them but rather undefined, I disagree with this principle 100% but this is currently how the wiki treats it.

You've returned from retirement? Do they all float where you went?My argumentative prowess has become so great that people have started agreeing with my reasoning before I've even arrived.
It's all green grass from here, fellows.
I do. And I did.
I've been un-retired for the last several months now. I came back around April or so.You've returned from retirement? Do they all float where you went?
"Quiver in fear!"Man everyone on this thread was like Its time for an all out attack
Jesus Christ, something like that actually exists?The guy from Bloodstained Curse of the Moon who accidentally killed himself by running so fast he collided with his own body in the future and exploded proves that Immeasurable Speed exists.
Because it's litteraly a double-standard we're doing. Timeless Voids have a whole note about not qualifying as speed BECAUSE they break the speed formula, yet we say that Immeasurable somehow means better than any speed based on absolutely nothing.Why is Immeasurable Speed breaking the speed formula a problem? That's literally the entire point of Immeasurable Speed: it's speed that cannot be measured/calculated using the S=D/T formula. If you want to remove Immeasurable Speed because of this, then you might as well push for Irrelevant Speed to be axed as well.
Fiction isn't real life yeah. But fiction is based on real life; and this wiki pay attention to it.We don't have proof of it because fiction works very differently from real life. Information and matter are incapable of going beyond the speed of light IRL, but fiction doesn't care about that in most cases. By default, real life physics don't hold in fiction unless the verse in question explicitly follows physics by the letter - otherwise, we might as well say that nothing can be FTL in fiction because nothing can be FTL in real life.
Like I explained, theoretical physics being equated to "real life" is kinda wrong. And yeah I'm seriously using theoretical physics on a wiki using MWI, higher dimensions, causality, time travel, etc... constantly; what a shock.Are you seriously using theoretical physics to debate your point? First of all, as I said, fiction is not real life. What holds for us may not hold for fiction, and in fact, when it comes to physics, it usually doesn't.
This one is really putting words in my mouth, with a fallacy at the end.Secondly, you're basically arguing that there is no difference between FTL and Immeasurable Speed, in which case you're implying that everything after lightspeed in the speed tiering system should be merged with Immeasurable. Do you think that people would be okay with the idea that Goku is as fast as Alduin? Because that's what this point amounts to, whether you realize it or not.
Time Travel definition: "Time travel is the concept of movement between certain points in time, analogous to movement between different points in space by an object or a person". So yeah Immeasurable speed definition IS time travel definition.I don't see how it would be just Time Travel. As far as I am aware, Time Travel is treated as the ability to fold spacetime so that you can go to the past or to the future. Immeasurable Speed wouldn't need that- they could just move across time as if it were just another spatial axis and freely go forward and backward in time. It's similar to the logic behind why Infinite Speed isn't just Teleportation: the latter is specifically folding space to cross virtually any distance; whereas the former is a velocity which is sufficient to cross any amount of distance, even an infinite amount.
The part is litteraly about demonstrating that everything supposed to be so "Immeasurable-only" easily fall under others powers; proving that our made-up speed (It's important to remember that we base ourselves on absolutely nothing but "idk man, it looks like it could be a thing") disappearing wouldn't be a problem with how we treat stuff; since like I said prior, a lot of this is double-standard coupled with baseless ideas.I mean, sure, but I don't see what this is supposed to prove. In fact, I can throw it back on you and claim that Infinite Speed would suffer from this as well, since if you are infinitely fast, the cause and effect of your actions would coincide. Would you want to nix Infinite Speed because of that?
It is. Someone also said that it was a criteria in one of the previous Immeasurable thread and nobody raised a single objection to it.I'm pretty sure this is how we already do things in most cases. Moving on...
I don't think stuff like what you're describing here or the example you gave is treated as Immeasurable Speed in the first place.
That's not what I said. Like I explained, I just took arguments used for Immeasurable. I'm not reducing anything, it's just a little part used among many in the threads about determining what Immeasurable is.What? Immeasurable Speed isn't reducible to just "faster than infinity." Immeasurable Speed, by its very nature, cannot be given a speed value at all because it breaks the S=D/T formula, as I said above. I don't think being "infinitely faster than infinity" is something that cannot be quantified in terms of speed.
If ignoring common sense mean "not basing ourselves on something we made-up, which also happen to be unsupported by fiction and theoretical physics; which we use for fundamental parts of our system"; then I'm willing to ignore it.I disagree strongly with removing Immeasurable Speed. Your arguments don't make sense to me and (no offense) seem to ignore common sense.
Inaccessible speed isn't used here because of another motivation.Because it's litteraly a double-standard we're doing. Timeless Voids have a whole note about not qualifying as speed BECAUSE they break the speed formula, yet we say that Immeasurable somehow means better than any speed based on absolutely nothing.
The fact is: all ruels aren't really applicable,FTL can hardly be measured. and if we use the many rules of speed we would get common problems. in speed tiering, especially in 3 speeds, you avoid using certain rules. moreover, if we want to make it clear, even the infinite speed is unreal.Fiction isn't real life yeah. But fiction is based on real life; and this wiki pay attention to it.
Hell, most of our fundamental pages had huges revision made especially to fit actual theories instead of making things up: Tiering System, Conceptual Manipulation, everything about higher dimensions, etc...
So saying "lol let's ignore theoretical stuff because fiction is weird" goes against most of what the wiki has been trying to do with its most recent updates.
Also saying it is "real life physics" when it's about theorical stuff in general is wrong. We constantly use theoretical physics (MWI, Hilbert Space, Cardinals, etc...) and there's no reason to simplify it as "it's real life which isn't fiction so it isn't relevant".
I have already explained it above, the wiki does not use theoretical physics in all possible applications, due to problems with various laws such as Newton's law of universal gravitationLike I explained, theoretical physics being equated to "real life" is kinda wrong. And yeah I'm seriously using theoretical physics on a wiki using MWI, higher dimensions, causality, time travel, etc... constantly; what a shock.
Are you seriously using theoretical physics to debate your point? First of all, as I said, fiction is not real life. What holds for us may not hold for fiction, and in fact, when it comes to physics, it usually doesn't.
Im not a DC expert, but i just know flash was using the 4D to move in past,present and future. it's time travel in a linear time (the 4D for tier 2) by Movement. that means it's not an hax.This one is really putting words in my mouth, with a fallacy at the end.
I'm saying time travel through speed can be done at any speed depending of the work; and you really just need to take any work depicting it to see that it's how it works. Flash series had the dude traveling through time with a speed not that high iirc (although I have little memories of this particular show); Superman time travelled through speed by going around Earth fast, any good ol' time slip, Scooby Doo time travelled through speed via FTL stuff, etc... and never was this portrayed as a speed somehow higher than everything and all; it's Time Travel.
I don't care about who's faster between Goku and Alduin. I also don't care how many people think Saitama is stronger than Goku, if Demonbane is thought as an omnikiller or if my fav verse gets stomped by whatever dude. I'm debatting a rule, and if a character previously thought to be infinitely faster than the other end up being the same speed or slower, then it's just that people were wrong.
This is really bad... I already explained Flash "Time Travel" the basically time travel is via hax, and usually have problem because it's not linear (example Dragon Ball time machine). the Immeasurable speed is TRAVELING with MOVEMENT in LINEAR TIME.Time Travel definition: "Time travel is the concept of movement between certain points in time, analogous to movement between different points in space by an object or a person". So yeah Immeasurable speed definition IS time travel definition.
So you just explained that the difference between Time Travel and Immeasurable is the prior's definition, but associated to the other one; which add to my point of Immeasurable being wanked time travel.
The part is litteraly about demonstrating that everything supposed to be so "Immeasurable-only" easily fall under others powers; proving that our made-up speed (It's important to remember that we base ourselves on absolutely nothing but "idk man, it looks like it could be a thing") disappearing wouldn't be a problem with how we treat stuff; since like I said prior, a lot of this is double-standard coupled with baseless ideas.
We litteraly treat Gae Bolg or Apfel Schießen has something separated from speed and both are causality-reversal attacks which really are just a thing being thrown hard (although Gae Bolg has its curse but meh).
Also since this part isn't the one supposed to prove it is wrong (only that what we use as justifications can be put on others category easily once I explained why Immeasurable is BS) , your argument for Infinite speed don't work (not to mention that cause and effect don't really have a form of "latency", so it really wouldn't make any problem).
I don't know, i think it need be changed. maybe the profile is old.It is. Someone also said that it was a criteria in one of the previous Immeasurable thread and nobody raised a single objection to it.
in fact it is expressed badly in theard. it's actually not just faster than infinityThat's not what I said. Like I explained, I just took arguments used for Immeasurable. I'm not reducing anything, it's just a little part used among many in the threads about determining what Immeasurable is.
If ignoring common sense mean "not basing ourselves on something we made-up, which also happen to be unsupported by fiction and theoretical physics; which we use for fundamental parts of our system"; then I'm willing to ignore it.
What don't make sense to me is the idea that somehow, going against our own rules, doing double-standard or ignoring any actual theories all for something made up with definitions which don't even justify it is considered legit.
Even fiction don't support it as explained above, and some examples supposed to "prove it" don't do so; since they depend on Immeasurable being right in the first place.
Let's not go in this direction, please. This thread is turning out to be controversial enough. The last thing it needs is to spiral off into a heated discussion about whether or not our recent system revisions were a good idea.Hell, most of our fundamental pages had huges revision made especially to fit actual theories instead of making things up: Tiering System, Conceptual Manipulation, everything about higher dimensions, etc...
So saying "lol let's ignore theoretical stuff because fiction is weird" goes against most of what the wiki has been trying to do with its most recent updates.
Why are all your points are based on the idea that I said every rules should be applied when it's not even remotely near of what I explained? Like it's litteraly not even part of my arguments.What you are doing is wrong, you apply rules in fiction when there is no need. as I explained above, if we use all the theories and rules we would create problems upon problems.
being that both Immeasurable and Irrelevant are used and applied in fiction. they should be ok.
Problem is that we can't really just have half of our system being based on something and another being based on an opposite line of thought tho.Let's not go in this direction, please. This thread is turning out to be controversial enough. The last thing it needs is to spiral off into a heated discussion about whether or not our recent system revisions were a good idea.
Which it will, if this particular line of argument is allowed to persist.
actually I'm doing it, because you're trying to apply the rules of physics, when it would only create problems. Trying to enforce a law would only cause a mess as most of the laws are connected. Furthermore, immeasurable speed is poorly described both with the speed formula and in words.Why are all your points are based on the idea that I said every rules should be applied when it's not even remotely near of what I explained? Like it's litteraly not even part of my arguments.
The problem is that Immeasurable and Irrelevant speed "rules" are things we invented basing ourselves on nothing but "eh, let's say it works".
Thing is, nothing ever supported our invention. It's the same as deciding a new tier based on conceptual trees because they are different from mathematics and we think it sounds p well to say that they would be above.
Since fiction is also a magic realm not based on any theoretical stuff in the world according to the opposite points; we can just use it to show that it still doesn't make Immeasurable speed right:
You can take Sonic, Scooby-Doo, Marvel, LoL, Space Dandy, Time Slip tropes, etc... and in none of these cases going through time via speed alone is seen as something as high as we use it (also checked the Flash series, and dude isn't Immeasurable by our standard).
You basically aren't answering the point raised at all.
hmm in my favorite verses i don't have any really good examples. so i will use Flash, from what I know, flash using the 4D you could move in the past, present and future linear with the movementI'm pretty sure a lot of verses treat Time Travel via speed as... just Time Travel.
In addition to this, not falling under a formula don't mean you're the strongest version of it. Besides the "punching hole in space-time" example which illustrate it, a more ridiculous example would be something like "Mind Control can't be calculated using heat formula, therefore it is the highest form of heat". As idiotic as it is, Immeasurable speed follows the same logic with time travel instead of mind control or space-time hole.
I also think Irrelevant speed is wrong, so it doesn't go against my points.
Flash afaik is "MFTL+, Immeasurable when running throught time" due to Speed Force. But this sounds more like Time Travel to me.hmm in my favorite verses i don't have any really good examples. so i will use Flash, from what I know, flash using the 4D you could move in the past, present and future linear with the movement
Yes time travel, with your movement, that's classificed Speed and not hax.Flash afaik is "MFTL+, Immeasurable when running throught time" due to Speed Force. But this sounds more like Time Travel to me.
Is my refute gonna be ignored or...In addition to this, not falling under a formula don't mean you're the strongest version of it. Besides the "punching hole in space-time" example which illustrate it
We already apply actual theories, denying one because it is theoretical physic stuff is not even an argument. It's not even about enforcing a law but more removing an invention which come from nowhere.actually I'm doing it, because you're trying to apply the rules of physics, when it would only create problems. Trying to enforce a law would only cause a mess as most of the laws are connected. Furthermore, immeasurable speed is poorly described both with the speed formula and in words.
the real description is "Time travel (which can be linear or probable depending on size and uses) through movement" travel through time movement is not considered hax but speed.
What you're saying is the point I'm making.False Analogy. If punching holes in space-time were to be High 3-A, it would be via effecting the 4-D Space-Time Continuum, not because "You can't nuke Space-Time via TNT lel"
No one ever said or remotely implied this, though? We are explicitly talking about speed which exceeds, and thus can't be measured, by the usual S = D/T equation, which is very different from simply moving in a realm where neither distance or time have any effect. You are probably well-aware of this caveat, yes? "Lacking something ≠ Being superior to it" and all that.Because it's litteraly a double-standard we're doing. Timeless Voids have a whole note about not qualifying as speed BECAUSE they break the speed formula, yet we say that Immeasurable somehow means better than any speed based on absolutely nothing.

As idiotic as it is, Immeasurable speed follows the same logic with time travel instead of mind control or space-time hole.
All of this is pretty much false equivalency piled ontop of false equivalency. Cardinality is a concept that we utilize because it is quite literally one of the most basic building blocks of mathematics, and the only rigorous way for we to treat the size of a given collection, so it is by no means just "theoretical physics" as you claim. Not to mention that we don't even use MWI or Hilbert Spaces (At least not directly, for the latter) in our Tiering System anyway, so.Fiction isn't real life yeah. But fiction is based on real life; and this wiki pay attention to it.

We don't use MWI in our Tiering System, and higher dimensions are a common enough occurence in fiction for them to be addressed by it, not to mention that they aren't even "theoretical" or anything of the sort: They are just the natural result of defining a set with a given number of variables, and it's actually pretty damn easy to model higher-dimensional spaces and see how they behave, at least from a purely algebraic perspective.Like I explained, theoretical physics being equated to "real life" is kinda wrong. And yeah I'm seriously using theoretical physics on a wiki using MWI, higher dimensions, causality, time travel, etc... constantly; what a shock.
That's nice, and thus we make an exception for these verses, while keeping them exempt from the actual rule.I'm saying time travel through speed can be done at any speed depending of the work; and you really just need to take any work depicting it to see that it's how it works.

^^^^^^^THISLiterally no one agrees with Yuri, can we just close this thread and move along with our day?
