Well, you have to travel faster than the speed of light to time travel. Barry's time travel is just him having an additional super power of time travelling, it isn't a result of FTL speed. What i am talking about is him almost managing to reach a breach that was in the process of closing, which was calculated at more than 700 times the speed of light. Exactly. Time travel is a side effect of the Speed Force. Barry has a long way to go before hitting FTL. I do know that FTL speed isn't his normal speed and that he can choose whether to time travel or not when he is going near that speed. I do know that Barry's current speed is not faster than the speed of light and that he does have to try hard to time travel, because it does use up a lot of energy. I wasn't saying that FTL speed was his normal speed, which it isn't. I do agree though that for his average speed to be FTL, he has A LOOOONG way to go. Even Jay Garrick can't have his average speed FTL through his experience. Not even Eobard Thawne. To become faster than an opening breach is going to take a lot of work if you aren't trying to time travel and if 700x the speed of light is not your average speed.
