I've seen this calc before and it's bunk. It's someone taking Jojo's penchant for visual hyperbole far too seriously.

Polnareff says himself that Silver Chariot cannot go to lightspeed. The only reason he's able to intercept The Hanged Man is because he knows exactly the path it's going to take. This is a Precision feat, not a Speed feat. A pitcher can throw a ball at 100mph but that doesn't mean the batter is moving at 100mph to hit it.

If Silver Chariot could actually move at lightspeed nothing in the series could challenge him. No one can react to lightspeed because it would kill you before you could even register that it moved. This calc is operating under false assumptions and just doesn't make any sense.
