    Listen, over the years I've given Sonic the Hedgehog a hard time. I'll admit it. It's come to my attention that I may have been a LITTLE unfair. What I've discovered is that Sonic the Hedgehog is actually TOO POWERFUL! So powerful that this blue speedster may have BROKEN his entire reality! All of time and space in the Sonic multiverse shattered to pieces! How? Get ready Loyal Theorists, this is a bumpy ride!

    Pocket dimenstions could make this a realistic theory. If Sonic is the only one able to move through a pocket dimension he could travel at any speed limited by the speed of space itself. Nothing would collide with him but only with the pocket dimension around him. This way he could theoretically "tap in to speed" faster than light and travel. he could also be untouchable because of the barrier of the dimension.

    My question now is.. is sonic faster than the flash?
    If we use this theory for sonic’s speed then I would say that he probably is faster. On top of being at the speed of light easy he has the upgrades, the chaos emeralds and all the other stuff to further increase his speed. For all we know, his speed could be untraceable because in truth if he were to go so fast like in the theory it would lead to his demise. So he could be the fastest thing in all universes or franchises but we would never know.

      Sonic don't run faster then light and that aspect of relativity is commonly misinterpreted. Chaos energy straight break time space. And on top of that time travel is actually major theme of this franchise, explored in many games (classic Sonic is actually his descendent from future).

    Actually this is explained in the comics. He's so fast and powerful because the golden rings he collects and the chaos emeralds he uses have rubbed off their power onto him. Basically he can control fate and chaos or something, but it keeps him from having to deal with that kind of stuff.

      why humans not run everywhere? well...its because human's running speed is pretty low..like 4-5 times faster than walking and you get tired pretty fast. Sonic's running speed is millions, if not billions times faster than ordinary car. He doesn't even need to run at full speed to be faster than car. He doesn't even need to go at 0.01% of top speed to outrun the car. thing is...we have no examples of creature which has such huge top speed. Still..keep in mind that for sonic in energy usage there's no big difference between walking and running 1000mph.

      I think it’s just cuz of the time span of said videos, the FNAF ones have been made since the release of FNAF in 2014, and the sonic movie was from February. I think MatPat was talking about film theory though

      I mean before he even got to light speed he should probably burn up or explode or something... I think colliding with any particle at light speed could potentially blow up the world, maybe even the solar system or more... Even in the vacuum of space you'll likely hit something, let alone in an atmosphere full of air... And things burn up when entering our atmosphere, not even traveling near the speed of light...
      ... But yeah lol

      Tbh I think RUclipsrs are too hard on themselves. Their old videos may not be as polished as their newer videos, but that's what made RUclips RUclips, and not a mini movie studio.

    Also, wouldn't it take either negative or infinite energy to surpass the speed of light? So either sonic doesn't behave as typical mass at all or he somehow has a well of negative energy to draw upon

    • @thecrazycapmaster
      @thecrazycapmaster 2 года назад

      I could see Chaos energy working as negative energy, and Archie Sonic has been pretty much renamed as an embodiment of Chaos so that might do it.

      No, if say the most pressing problem of traveling faster than light is the fact that your atoms would fall apart, since the interactions between the elements, which is what causes them to bond together to actually make up the atom, can only go at the speed of light, and so would be slower than the atom itself. This is also true for the fundamental particles making up the elements that made up the atom, and so the elements would also break down into quarks and electrons.
