Actually the inertial mass of an object goes to infinity as its velocity approaches the speed of light, not infinite speed. Which is why nothing can actually reach the speed of light, let alone exceed it -- because it'd take infinite energy to accelerate an infinite mass.
And okay, I'm sure if you thought about it hard enough, you could come up with a way that the Flash could hurt Supergirl. But why would he want to? They're ice cream buddies!

Was that a redress of Oliver's/Felicity's apartment? It looked very similar with the big open window front and the size and layout was close, too.
Seems unlikely. This is going to be a standing set now, Barry and Iris's new home, so they'll get a lot of use out of it. I doubt it'd be very feasible for two series to both make regular ongoing use of the same standing set; they'd be constantly getting in each other's way. They're probably different sets that have design similarities due to having a common production designer (maybe -- too lazy to check) or perhaps for logistical set-design reasons.
That apartment is actually Thea's.
I have no idea why she doesn't live there though, or where she lives now...
So here's something I'm curious about: what is the earth numbering system based on?
So far we have Earths 1, 2, 3, 19 and 38. 1 is an arbitrary starting point because it's the home universe of the people making the classification system. The others could've simply been numbered in the order they were discovered, except Barry visited Earth 38 before anyone even tried looking for more than just 1 and 2. So that would seem to indicate there's some kind of objective measurement going on, ie, that some earths are in some way 'closer' than others. But if that's the case, isn't it kind of strange that of the first four discovered, three of them are so close together that they can be called 1, 2, and 3?
Or were they the first discovered because they were so close together, and it was easier to discover them?
Or will the designations have to be reassigned at some point in the future when they find other universes that are even closer together? (Earth 1.5?)

Didn't they mention that they located 52 Earths or so?
Of those 52 worlds, Kara's is no. 38 per Sisco.
How Jay knows he is from 3 in that numbering system is another question.
Guess, he looked it up off screen.

Back in the Season about Zoom, they created 52 dimensional breaches across Central City, but they all lead to Earth 2.
Cisco is mapping the Multiverse, not Barry, and Barry might be able to feel his way to Kara, but that hardly helps Cisco vibe his way through dimensions, or use technology, like the "doorknob" they gave Kara to fabricate his natural abilities.
I remember some dialogue -- I believe it was in the episode where they were searching the multiverse for a replacement Wells -- indicating that the Earths were numbered in order of their dimensional "distance" from Earth-1. I.e. if the parallel reality planes are lined up adjacent to each other in a higher dimension, then Earth-2 is one plane away, Earth-3 is two planes away, etc. (Although what about Earths in the other direction? Is Earth-1 at the edge of the sheaf?) I think the line was something to the effect of the message having to cross 18 universes to get to HR on Earth-19, or something like that.
As for Barry reaching Earth-38, keep in mind that that was by accident and using a different method than normal, and it was before they had the same understanding of parallel-Earth travel that they have now. So they may not have figured out it was Earth-38 until recently, when they reviewed the tachyon-device tracking data in the context of what they learned later.
That was established in his scenes in last season's finale, so he already would've known that his Earth was known to Barry as Earth-3.
Isn't HR from earth 19. Also there was the scene where Cisco and Caitlin was watching the various wells' from the various earths.
I wonder if there is a substance that was like kryptonite to speedsters? It could allow a non-speedster to pose a serious challenge to the Flash and thus open the door to a non-speedster villain.
Marbles.
That is hilarious. Well done sir!
Marbles.
The Trickster did that on his first episode of the 1990 series. Or was it ball bearings which he dumped behind his car as he escaped? Same idea.
Regarding the numbering of the various Earths, it was said last year that, to the inhabitants of Earth-2, they're on "Earth-One", with Barry's Earth being "Earth-Two".
If Jay messed up his Earth at all, or has any major secrets, I wonder if any of them have to do with screwing up his own history and past to the point where he lost his family history, most of his life, even his original name.
Are you sure? I thought that was fan discussion. On screen, Earth 1 was the center of everything, and the reason Zoom was trying to destroy it. Was it actually stated in dialogue?
"All right, you can be crummy Universe A and we'll be Universe 1."
Like doing something that prevented him from being named Henry Allen...? His parents not being married and something happens to Jay's dad when his mother was pregnant with him?
