Hi
I'm a high school student who is looking into more advanced physics at a cursory level and I've found this idea of a speed force. Can someone explain what it is?

The Speed Force is a concept presented in various comic books published by DC Comics,[1] primarily in relation to the various speedsters in the DC Universe.The Speed Force was the extra-dimensional energy that once powered all of the Flash's superhuman abilities. It is not like gravity or any other fundamental electromagnetic phenomenon. Its origin is likely the same as most superhuman abilities found in the DC Universe, a byproduct of the mysterious omni-energy known as The Source and The Godwave.
