Besides, I've mentioned several times now that they already could not be tracked by ordinary human eyes and that at some point, they [characters] no longer depend entirely on light to see [as evidenced by the death beam].

Seeing and hearing are two totally different things. That's some very faulty logic right there.
Why are you assuming that something has to travel the speed of light to be invisible to the human eye? I don't know that that is true. Can you back that up?
And what about the Death Beam?

^All the above examples go to show claiming my theory doesn't work because it is "scientifically impossible" is non sequitur (It doesn't work; inert if you will).

I will admit that some of those things would be impossible in our world, due to the fantasy element, but those are
a part of the series. No one in the series said outright that a character would travel at the speed of light. And for the record:
Capsule technology could be very possible in the future.
Only alien characters regenerate, such as Piccolo. And his species is supposed to be based on lizards and whatnot. They can regenerate lost limbs.
Breathing in space (it's not actually breathing, I think, more that Freeza doesn't need to breathe, or that he can hold his breath. It's not explained) is done by an alien character, and surviving in higher gravity is also done by aliens.
Teleporting and wish granting are both fantasy elements that work within the Dragon Ball universe.

Once again, there are unknown factors that make your theory unverifiable. The amount of time he was flying in that panel is unknown, the amount of time he flew total is unknown, the amount of times he circled the Earth is unknown. (
No, the VIZ translation cannot be used to enhance your argument when it contradicts Toriyama's original line. And there is no Japanese equivalent of the word "dozen." That's the adapted line. Address this point, stop ignoring it.)
You have a theory, not a fact. That's all.
