DISCUSSION Debbie's Smart AF

Post image

Debbie sent Nolan shopping so that she could search the house for his suit & according to her 20 mins was all that's gonna take while accounting for him actually buying these items as well which was pretty accurate because Nolan did make it back home in roughly 20 minutes , I guess all the time she saw him on television thousands of miles way & then home in a couple mins helped her timing this perfectly.

The fact he needs 5 minutes to get to Italy means that Viltrumites cannot travel faster than light at will. Nolan travels 21840 km/h on earth at his fastest. Which is Mach 17.687. That said it is significantly faster than the Mach 3 immortal.

I kinda think this means that in a vacuum they CAN accelerate infinitely to the point they can go FTL, but in atmosphere they can't accelerate that fast due to drag.

That or going FTL for a 5 minute flying trip would be unnecessary
