I wasn't saying I believe that to be the case, just that it's a possibility, I still think the whole "rose petal flight evolution" was a rather stupid addition that's full of holes and way too unsupported.

"Flight" is achieved by making the use of forces apply more upward force than gravity. "acceleration" is the speed of an object. stillness of an object standing on the surface of a planet is an illusion, as both gravity and the spin of the planet are both constantly "accelerating" you.

If you were thus able to manipulate such forces to create "lift" you could theoretically "fly" at any time. Is it a long-shot explanation? Yes, ultimately I doubt Monty or Merry thought about it, just saying it's a possibility, and no, outside of "speed force" BS nothing about the flash implies that he controls how fast he is going other than his bodies natural motions just being insanely sped up.
