Magic/speed Force it is.

(I'm actually fairly serious about that. The Speed Force basically lets someone do whatever the writer wants or needs despite the non-physical possibility of it. eg. steal speed from something, speed in an observation. You may stop something's motion but it still moves at the same speed as everything else in it's inertial system meaning it still has speed. Plus, soon as a force is applied by gravity/normal force/etc. Speed happens. It breaks the rules like magic, cept worse because it tries to be scientific about it instead of outright Magic.)

That's the reason I'm SO happy Greg decided against the Speed Force. Bad and unecessary concept. ah yes the speed force, the ultimate get out of jail free card for writers who have written themselves into a corner. i really hate these cheap cop outs that writers build in for themselves, so yeah im very glad greg has jettisoned it.
