Can Minato go faster than the speed of light?

[Lord of the Kings]

Albert Einstein said there is nothing go faster than speed of light.Can Minato go through this challenge? :shrug:

 

[Joten Uchiha]

Well his space time Jutsu is instantaneous right? i assume he's slower but it's not even noticeable.

 

[villain55]

Lol it's a anime character as in not real

 

[Kages]

He's faster than anything because it's instant.

[Omnipotent]

Naw

 

[Prometheus Beta]

Lol even if we take this seriously, special relativity only applies to things in motion (i.e. things covering a distance in space through a given time), teleportation isnt motion, in fact speed is undefined in this case (since you cover a distance in no time).

 

[Captain Kidd]

Teleporation is not the same thing as speed.

 

[-immortal-]

he is not faster than time though

 

[Waltz]

I honestly think, FTG = Speed of light simply because, IRL the speed of light is considered an instantaneous constant...well to outside observers. So it could be the reason why FTG appears instant.

 

[maddog38]

I'm not strong in physics, but Nah, to outdo the speed of light means to have the capability of travelling in time. Minato can only teleport, I repeat myself, teleport, it's not about speed

 

[jaskaranirondragon]

Yeah he is not that fast

Teleportation is not really motion or changing positions, it's what you call hypothetically a "shortcut" through space-time, so there is no violation of general relativity, because it is absurd to go faster than light like the effect preceding the cause.

 

[Owarij]

What Minato does is technically a short cut between point A and b, unlike other people who have to run the full distance from a-b, think of ftg as folding the a-b line in half and walking right through the middle to end up at b

Technically this shouldn't be even considered "speed" , but kishi does, so meh

If you wish to take it in naruto terms, Yes he's faster than the speed of light..
Let's say miniato hypothetically has a ftg tag on the sun, and on one earth, He can essentially instantly move from the sun to earth with no travel time.... Light on the other hand takes about 6mins? or so to reach earth....when you look at the sun, you're basically looking 6mins into the past, When you look at stars, you're sometimes looking thousands of years into the past

In naruto terms, where instantaneous transportation is considered speed, then yes he is faster than the speed of light

 

[Lord of the Kings]

Teleportation can't be fast as speed of light

 

[zinescience]

no,going faster than the speed of light is traveling into the future.

 

[Captain Kidd]

speed=distance/time. Teleportation uses 0 time and you cant divide with 0, so we can say teleportation is something different than speed. Both appear to be instaneous, but light is not.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

no,going faster than the speed of light is traveling into the future.

we are already moving forward into the future, backwards time travel is not possible because it violates the second law of thermodynamics.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

The best way to describe "teleportation" is like this, assume you have a piece of paper, and one side is A and the other end is side B, now naturally to make a pencil travel from A to B would require displacement or change in positions, but if you fold the paper making the point A and B stick together, the pencil can go right through it instantly from point A to B

 

[Lentz]

Don't bother wiith science here (unless you want to act smart which is what most people are doing), it does NOT apply to mangas. Goku's ****ing instant transmission was said to be speed of light yet the dude could travel across space in no time. Kishimoto doesn't give a **** about physics, he's a manga writer. He gave Minato, Tobirama and Obito some teleportation jutsu, labeled it "space/time" and that's all.
