It takes 13 milliseconds of seeing an object to visualize it. Therefore, in order to be invisible, you would have to move your shoulder width to the side in less than 13 milliseconds to be effectively invisible to the human eye. If you move to the side, then pause for 13 milliseconds to be visualised, then move back and do the same, you would make a single copy, that would flicker out of existence for exactly the amount of time you are moving. So, if you can move in a couple nanoseconds, yoctoseconds, or zeptoseconds, all absurdly small units of time, you can be effectively 2 of you at any given time. Your mirror image last for exactly 13 milliseconds unless you move back. The issue is when you get more than one afterimage. You can only have 2 at a time, proven by the fact that your image updates every 13 milliseconds, and if you move to 3rd position then your 13 milliseconds of the 1st image ends, leaving you with two again. However, we see in this image that there are 7 Silver Chariots, one real and 6 mirrors. The only way this is possible is if Silver Chariot is moving fast enough to gain enough mass to warp space, giving a visual inversion, mirroring the image, giving you 4. He then has to bend space over again, making the light refract over bent space to give the full seven. Then, SC has to move fast enough to do this while stopping for 13 millisecond intervals, means than his acceleration is absurd. In order to have a gravitational force that a human would feel, which would be required to warp the path of light even a tiny bit, you would have to have the mass of Pluto’s smaller moon Deimos, which is 1,476,188,406,600,740 kilograms. If we assume that Silver Chariot without his armor is the same weight as Polnareff, which is reasonable based on his size, that Silver Chariot is about 78 kilograms. Based on the calculation of special relativity, the speed required for the relative mass change to even barely warp space would be 1545794708.59 times the speed of light! Even if SIlver Chariot weighed 100,000 times Polnareff without the armor, then he would still be moving 1,545.794708.59 times the speed of light. While this is not quite dense enough to create a black hole, this is still absurdly fast, dense, and massive. The thing is, this is a very conservative estimate for the mass required to warp space how Silver Chariot does, and it could very well require tens of times, maybe even hundreds of times greater masses, and therefore speeds, depending on how much space is warping. Silver Chariot isn’t only faster than light, he is so absurdly fast that, to make his mirror images possible, his movement should be causing nuclear explosions. The only explanation for why he isn’t is because he’s a stand, so I guess he can break the rules. And, as I proved earlier, Star Platinum is faster than Silver Chariot, as shown in the battle against DIO and The World. Star Platinum is most definitely not over 1.5 million times slower than Silver Chariot, therefore Star Platinum is also faster than the speed of light. Tusk has never been shown anywhere near that fast.'''

I appreciate the math, but this is a drastic misunderstanding of what after-images actually are.
