== Trivia ==
=== Notes ===
* When Nora tapped into the negative Speed Force, her lightning turned from yellow and purple to purple and red. However in Season 9, her purple lightning turns blue instead. 
*Cisco Ramon mentioned that negative tachyons siphon positive tachyons, stealing speed from the Speed Force.
**However, following the death of the Speed Force, while possessing Harrison Nash Wells, Eobard explained that he still had his powers, implying that the Negative Speed Force is not dependent on the existence of the Speed Force.
*According to Eobard, the Negative Speed Force is the only place that is immune to timeline changes.
**This is proven untrue true as it has been mentioned several times that the temporal zone is also immune to timeline changes and the Speed Force has also been shown to be immune to timeline changes.
***However, it has been seen that if an aberration is massive enough, things will be affected even inside the temporal zone.
*The Speed Force is able to connect with the Negative Speed Force. However, it needs someone to anchor it when doing so.
=== Behind the scenes ===
* In The Flash comics, the Negative Speed Force was created by Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash. He trapped his arch-enemy Barry Allen into the Negative Speed Force in the New Earth. He used it to infect and corrupt Barry, in the hopes that the Negative Speed Force would consume Barry's loved ones and other speedsters who rely on it, thus "destroying" the Speed Force because Barry was its chosen avatar. 
**This storyline is similar to season 6A of The Flash, where Ramsey Rosso infects Barry with his blood curse
*In the Prime Earth, Barry temporarily gained a connection to the Negative Speed Force, becoming the Negative Flash.
