Actually, it is, becayuse of course as they get stronger they get faster, which means that it is impossible for them to not attain a speed beyond light, mathematically on paper. Since you could use maths to show that an accelerating object in space should eventually pass beyond the speed of light, this must mean it will, right? Wrong. Science shows that matter cannot break this barrier, and until the manga conclusively shows that I don't have to accept that the maths are true. Theory and practice are very different things.
It. Doesn't. MATTER.

They have continually defied the laws of physics. You can't ignore the fact that they WOULD eventually gain this speed (probably during the Freeza saga even). We know Freeza's power-level was a hundred million. My calculations will probably be accepted by anyone who follows power-levels. "It's unrealistic" is a cop-out arguement. To cop-out in a debate this heavy is even worse than using an IPD arguement.

We know Goku can survive a nuclear explosion because he has withstood blasts that do just as much (and in some cases, greater) damage than a nuke. We know how fast Roshi ran doing the math. It doesn't freaking matter if it's scientifically impossible.

@Final Ultima: We have no clue how fast hyper-speed is. We just know untrained eyes cannot follow them at that acceleration. In fact, they are invisible. Wasn't it mentioned on this thread that if someone were moving faster than light you "couldn't see them"...? :O
