 * THESE CALCULATIONS ARE APPLIED TO BARRY IF HE WERE TO EXIST IN REALITY, THEREFORE THERE ARE REAL CONCEPTS AND CALCULATIONS APPLIED. ALSO, THE SECTION ABOUT TIME TRAVELLING APPLIES TO BARRY IF HE DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO JUST CREATE A PORTAL TO THE SPEED FORCE WHEN HE IS NOT GOING AT SUCH HIGH SPEEDS FOR HIM. I AM FREE TO ANY CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO MY CALCULATIONS.*****

It's mainly one. simple. formula.: Speed is distance over time, which means to calculate the speed, you have to divide the distance by how much time it takes. So S=D/T So for example, to calculate Barry's speed when he goes to CCPD from Star Labs, you have to divide the distance CCPD is from Star Labs, by the time it takes Barry to run there, assuming there are no interferences, traffic, or civilians. As I said earlier, the formula is S=D/T. Here's a question: Can you calculate Barry's POTENTIAL SPEED by adding in his weight into the formula? So he had extra weight when carrying Big Sir to Jiaju. So his potential speed could have been (probably, I'm not sure) S=D/T plus Big Sir's weight over distance or S=D/T + W/D, since he is gaining the weight that he lost, because Big Sir's weight inhibited him from going faster. Since Barry can also TIME TRAVEL, this is not his fastest speed. He must be preventing himself from going too fast, as to not time travel. Since in this video, Comic Books vs The World said his fastest speed was 12 times less than the speed of light, a person has to be going faster than the speed of light to time travel. So just assuming that he has to go the speed of light to time travel, it would be 54, 816, 124 x 12, which is A GRAND TOTAL OF 657,793,488 MILES PER HOUR. However, while Comic Books vs The World's calculations are correct, the speed of light in miles per hour is 671,000,000. Therefore, Barry would have to go EXACTLY 12.2409238566 times his REGULAR fastest speed. However, since Barry has done this on multiple occasions the speed he goes during time travel gradually increases due to his gain of experience, but his exact speed each time is unknown, but he does have to go a minimum of 671,000,000 miles per hour to time travel. Yes, many of you may be asking, "How is that possible if Barry passes his own lightning bolt?". Well the speed of lightning is actually 220,000,000 miles an hour (from Maine.gov), so when time travelling, Barry is going at a base speed of 551,000,000 more miles per hour than the base speed of lightning. HOWEVER, the MORE ACCURATE speed of lightning is 669,600,000 miles an hour (from the more trusted, NASA.gov), because it is light and light travels at a base speed of 186,000 miles per second and there are 3,600 seconds in an hour. That is almost the minimum speed required for Barry to time travel. So Barry is going at a base speed of 1,400,000 miles per hour more than lightning. So overall, his true and FASTEST speed is faster than the speed of light, which is 671,000,000 miles an hour. This is not his AVERAGE speed, since he doesn't time travel when he runs all the time. His average speed is all of the top speeds he has run each time, divided by how many times he has run. This includes all the times he has time traveled. However, the trouble is to calculate the speed you must have the distance and for most of the times he has run, we probably do not have the exact distance. You ARE able to calculate the average, but it won't be exact. Just remember this simple formula to calculate speed: Speed=Distance divided by Time. If my calculations are incorrect, please inform me. I am only a 14 year old 8th Grade student so I can get some higher mathematics incorrect. :D I am open to any education if I have miscalculated. I really enjoyed this video and I know there was a lot of time and effort put into it, so thank you Comic Books vs Real World for this education. I thank you all for your time in reading this long comment and enjoy your day! :D
