Fast Enough - S1-E23

Corrected entry: At one point near the end of the episode, Professor Stein says to Barry, "That event has an energy level of at least 6.7 teraelectron volts. It cannot be stopped." One TeV is a measurement used in particle physics and is a very small amount of energy, approximately that of a very small flying insect. Hardly a proper measurement for a huge, catastrophic event.

Correction: Teraelectron volts measure particle energies, or their acceleration. The power comes from the amount of space the energy is squeezed into. The Large Hadron Collider accelerated protons to 1.18 teraelectron volts, so not much more than a mosquito, but a trillion times smaller than a mosquito, so quite powerful. The energy reading from Stein is over 5.6 times more than the world's most powerful superconducting proton synchrotron, and it's crammed into a very small space, making it nearly unstoppable.

Fast Enough - S1-E23

Corrected entry: Particle accelerators have to be a perfect vacuum in order to work properly, otherwise the particles inside would constantly collide with the air molecules. This means Barry couldn't possibly be running inside, because he doesn't have any breathing apparatus with him.

Friso94

Correction: As seen in many episodes, Barry's cells can rapidly reproduce new cells even with no oxygen (as seen in season 1 where the man could create a poisonous gas) and Barry survived. Therefore he would not have to have a breathing aid.

Attack on Central City - S3-E14

Factual error: Wells states that there are "precisely 90,000" possible 5-digit combinations for the keypad (to abort the nuclear code). However, there are actually 100,000 possible combinations (10^5).

Barry Allen: My name is Barry Allen and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash.

Attack on Gorilla City - S3-E13

Trivia: Before Barry and the others travel to gorilla city, Julian says something about Bludhaven. This is the city of Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, former partner of Batman as the first Robin.

The Flash Reborn - S4-E1

Question: In the episode "Finish Line", the Speed Force tells Barry that he wouldn't experience the kind of hell that Savitar, Wally or Jay had. So why in this episode, when Barry leaves the Speed Force, does he seem confused and disoriented?
