A crucial assumption in Boltzmanns argument is that there are only a finite (if very large) number of molecular configurations. Any proposal that predicts that we are Boltzmann brains must perforce be wrong. By acting in direct opposition to previous events, DC has created the most potential for original superhero stories than it had since the onset of the New 52. So, whenever we make a prediction in physics, we need to specify what the initial conditions are. The combination of a theoretically convincing motivation with Weinbergs remarkable success made the multiverse idea attractive enough that a number of researchers, including me, have spent years trying to work it out in detail. The second option is very troubling, because our existing laws are incapableofprovidingthe requisiteinitial conditions. Butthings happened differently in the Dark Multiverse! It was utilized by the Time Masters as their base of operations before they were killed by the Legends. Superman, ended the, An Earth where the Justice League appeared in the 19th century, Kal-El's rocket landed in Kansas in the 1850s and he made himself known to the public at the 1876, Luthor is a war profiteer who is eventually executed for treason, An Earth where Dr. Moreau creates a Justifiers of the Law Anointed (Justice League of America), as well as Jack the Ripper, with his experiments, Moreau's assistant Ivo calls them the Just Lot of Animals, An Earth where Batman began his career in 1889 and fought against, Home of the clockwork city of Metropolis, where the Super-Man once fought Lutor and Bruss Wayne-Son took the alias of the Nosferatu. Some of Slade's children, like Grant Wilson and This Harrison Wells speaks with a British accent and wears steampunk attire. It seems to contain a vast landscape of solutions, or vacua, each with its own values of the observable physical constants. In the second, a huge meteor suddenly destroys the planet, terminating all sleeper experiments. existed only in fiction. But thats just because the conditions we are dealing with in cosmology are extreme, involving spans of times and volumes of space that are outside human experience. The multiverse is a theory in which universes exist beyond our own, each with its own set of physical laws and realities that are distinct from one another. The basic idea of how to make predictions in such a theory is simple. Now suppose you have just woken up and have a chance to bet whether you have been asleep for 1 year or 50 billion years. The history of the Linearverse appears to follow the events depicted in the comics in real time. But the end of Crisis shows otherwise", "Arrow Executive Producer Says the Series Wouldn't Have Existed Without the Green Lantern Movie", "How Is Superman & Lois Connected to the Arrowverse? This universe and its inhabitants were destroyed by an anti-matter wave in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One". To put it all together: Theoretical and observational evidence suggests that we are living in an enormous, eternally expanding multiverse where the constants of nature vary from place to place. Wells, is a French poet, Seen on Jay Garrick's Multiverse map. Otherwise, we would be Boltzmann brains. The Murder Machine, a cyborg version of Batman. Right now, we dont have one. Covering the hottest movie and TV topics that fans want. The problem is a quantitative one. An Earth of sapient metasimians known as the Primate Legion, consisting of. "Every Arrow-verse Cameo From The Crisis On Infinite Earths Crossover So Far". Cinema Blend. Archived from the original on December 9, 2019. Retrieved December 9, 2019. ^ a b c d Burlingame, Russ (November 14, 2017). At root, our problems arise because the multiverse is an infinite expanse of space and time. Following his being released, Garrick planned to retire and train a protege to take his place. Earth-13's Clark traveled to the main Earth of, This Earth was destroyed when the collision between Earth-9 and Earth-37 broke through into Earth-13. It is a homage to Htrae, the Bizarro World, with its population of Bizarros and its cubical shape.The original Bizarro World was not a parallel Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #1, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #2, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #3, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #4, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #5, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #6, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #7, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #8, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #9, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #10, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #11, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #12, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #13, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #14, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #15, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #16, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #17, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #18, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #19, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #20, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #21, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #22, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #23, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #24, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #25, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #26, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #27, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #28, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #29, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #30, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #31, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #32, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #33, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #34, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #35, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #36, Infinite Crisis: The Fight for the Multiverse. Now suppose you have just woken up and have a chance to bet whether you have been asleep for 1 year or 50 billion years. Roughly, the procedure to make predictions goes as follows. Infinite Crisis used both, but Crisis on Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition and everything after 52 have referred to the alternate universes with numerals. Dark matter might be fluid in galaxies but something else on vaster, cosmological scales. An Earth where Barbara Gordon and her boyfriend Richart Graustark become Batgirl and Robin in 1961 and fight against corrupt cops and other establishment types led by the white-faced Bianca Steeplechase, a.k.a. But then were back to the problem of initial conditions. It is the third possibility that holds the most promise for yielding sensible predictions. This strange effect occurs because the volume of space is exponentially expanding and never stops. The major problem we faced is that, since the volume of space grows without bound, the number of observers observing any given thing is infinite, making it difficult to characterize which events are more or less likely to occur. Dadnapped 2: The Secondary Trap (The Muppets Style), Hatching Pete 2: The Roosters Vs. Attributing the idea to his assistant, known to history only as Dr. The only worlds listed here are Pariah's "prison worlds"; for all other Multiverse 2 worlds, see the original Multiverse. Eventually all of the particles will accidentally cluster in one corner of the box. Then we calculate what happens when the time becomes arbitrarily large. Otherwise, we would be Boltzmann brains. This Earth is known to have Blight, hence H.R. In Boltzmann and Schuetzs theory, it would be far, far more likely to produce our solar system without bothering to make all of the other stars in the universe. On this universe's Earth, details are similar to that of the world of. Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and others were killed in a terrorist attack at the Daily Planet. Another tells us that most of the volume will be taken up by the state the decays the slowest. Dini, Paul; Bedard, Tony(w),Garcis, Manuel(p),McKenna, Mark(i). A spell that was to replace Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as the Trinity of New Earth was corrupted, resulting in a major alteration of New Earth's history. This universe did contain a version of Batman according to Supergirl's dialogue with Earth-1 Batwoman during "Elseworlds". The expansion approaches a steady-state behavior, with the expanding high-energy state continually expanding and budding off lower-energy regions. The multiverse appears to offer a middle way. This years winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics were driven by curiosity, skill, and tenacity. Dini, Paul; McKeever, Sean(w),Calafiore, Jim(p),Leisten, Jay(i). New Movie News, Movie Trailers & upcoming Movie Reviews, Dark Crisis Brought Back the Multiverse - And DC's Greatest Potential, Batman Agrees: Nightwing Is DC's Most Important Superhero, Dark Crisis' Finale Reveals Why Deathstroke Wants to Destroy the Entire Multiverse, 10 Ways A.X.E. Thea Queen died of an overdose of the Vertigo drug. The destruction of New Earth would set off a chain reaction that would destroy the other 51 alternate universes at the same time, leaving only the Antimatter Universe in existence. If the multiverse is large and diverse enough to contain some regions where dark matter is made out of light particles and other regions where dark matter is made out of heavy particles, how could we possibly predict which one we should see in our own region? Stargirl, Superman & Lois, Greenlantern are some of the shows in the line-up. Earth-Prime had few superheroes. On this Earth, diverging from a common early history with Earth-12, United States President Lex Luthor killed the Flash, leading to his murder by Superman and inspiring a cruel dystopian regime enforced by the Lords. It appears to be pre-industrial in terms of its technological base. This Earth's Justice League is composed of marshals operating in the Wild West. It just isnt a sensible problem to calculate probabilities under the assumption that the human population grows exponentially forever, and indeed it is impossible for the population to grow forever. Thomas, Roy(w),Hoberg, Rick(p),Collins, Bill(i). The Goblin Market, the Land of Nightshades, Home of the Lost and Forgotten of the Orrery. Mistaking the crash for a first strike, the United States unleashed its full nuclear arsenal against the Soviet Union, who retaliated. A crucial assumption in Boltzmanns argument is that there are only a finite (if very large) number of molecular configurations. The only remnant of this universe is a powerful object known as the Cosmic Grail. Who's Who Too! Earth-19 was once attacked by another Earth 25 years ago, so a ban on inter-dimensional travel was put in place, with the punishment of death to any unauthorized breach travel. (Amell has Established as an alternate universe in "The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis" (. Since we cant keep track of where all the molecules are, and anyway their positions change with time, we assume that any microstate is equally likely. An astrobiologist and a director on the joys and challenges of filming space science. A Mirror version of McCulloch started an invasion from there using various duplicates before being stopped by Team Flash. What are we to conclude? The Arrowverse leans hard into the multiverse, which leaves the door open for Amell to play a different Oliver than fans knew for all eight seasons of Arrow. The Green Lantern of Earth-12 is a descendant of Hal Jordan. In an infinite multiverse, physics loses its ability to make predictions. Their leader, "Doc" Will Tornado, is human and apparently an amalgamation of the. After another decade, though, DC once again has a massive number of parallel earths, with the Jurassic League, DC vs Vampires and more. This helps, as The New 52 introduced a Dark Multiverse that uses negative numbers (i.e., Earth -3). But then we still find ourselves making absurd predictions. This Earth is home to characters that first appeared in, Based on the Justice Lords' universe depicted in the. This universe was accidentally uncovered by Iris West-Allen while investigating Eva McCulloch, who disappeared in the first particle accelerator explosion. This Earth is shown to be a desolate barren wasteland of a planet, with ruins as far as the eye can see. He discovers there that a new crisis is arising, one that threatens all of the universes. Suppose that every day 1 percent of the population takes part. If the molecules begin in a fairly improbable configuration, they will naturally evolve to a more probable one as they bounce around randomly. Jesse Quick also acted as "the Flash" on Earth-3 while Jay Garrick was trapped in the Speed Force. It was published on November 27, 2019. In fact, given the parameters that define our universe, we calculated that there is about a 50 percent probability of encountering the end of time in the next 5 billion years. Retroactively established as an alternate universe in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Five". If we leave the gas in the box for long enough, it will explore some unusual microstates. Mirror versions of Eva McCulloch, Iris West Allen, David Singh and Kamilla Hwang. But then we still find ourselves making absurd predictions. On this Earth, Batman merged himself with a digital copy of Alfred Pennyworth's mind after the real Alfred Pennyworth's death, becoming a murderous cyborg. Instead, the point is that our recipe for calculating probabilities accidentally injected a novel type of catastrophe into the theory. Based on the hit videogame INFINITE CRISIS, the Marvel/DC: Crisis In The Multiverse is an upcoming video game that connects the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Universe with the Injustice: Gods Among Us [80], cameo appearance: Trinity #52 (May 2009) Then you are put into a cryogenic freezer. A new Multiverse was revealed at the end of the 52 weekly maxiseries. [218] Guggenheim had wanted there to only be the single, new Earth-Prime that remained at the end of the crossover, but had that happened, the crossover would not have been able to visit the worlds of other DC properties. For example, in the year 2016, sleepers who went to sleep for a short time in 2015 will wake up, as will sleepers who began a long nap in 1916. On this world, Bryce Wayne mass-murdered all metahumans in revenge for the death of her lover, Sylvester Kyle. In the first, one day no more babies are born, but every sleeper experiment that has begun eventually finishes. So the number of sleeper experiments beginning at any given time is always increasing. We count how many observers in the multiverse measure a physical quantity to have a given value. By calculating what happens frequently and what happens rarely in the multiverse, we can make statistical predictions for what we will observe. The universe has an infinite number of states available, avoiding the Boltzmann brain problem, yet approaches a steady-state behavior, allowing for a straightforward statistical analysis. Gases that start off clumpy for some reason will spread out, for a simple reason: It is statistically far more likely for their molecules to be uniformly distributed rather than clustered. These infinities lead to paradoxes and puzzles wherever we turn. In an interview Jeff King stated, "The battle to save not one, but two multiverses in Convergence provides it", and later states "In Convergence #8 we reference Multiversity and show you some of the Post-Convergence worlds that make up the reconstituted DC Multiverse. Nautilus is a different kind of science magazine. It is like a swirling cloud that, all of a sudden, just so happens to take the shape of a person. In fact, by the 1980s, dozens of alternative timelines and variants of DC's heroes had been created. In the "With A Vengeance!" It just isnt a sensible problem to calculate probabilities under the assumption that the human population grows exponentially forever, and indeed it is impossible for the population to grow forever. Appeared, retroactively, as an alternate universe in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three". The Anti-Monitor saved the Dark Angel, just as the Monitor had saved her good counterpart Harbinger. They are opposed by the Freedom Fighters, led by Uncle Sam, along with the Ray, the Black Condor, the Human Bomb, the Phantom Lady, Doll Man and Doll Woman, A magic-based Earth, where an occult version of the Justice League is led by Superdemon, a combination of Superman and, A "perfect" universe that was destroyed by. Now suppose you are just waking up in your cryogenic freezer and are asked to bet how long you were asleep. Fans often dubbed it ". Similar to the real world, superheroes exist only in fiction, outside of Superboy-Prime and the 2004 incarnation of the Legion of Super-Heroes, The Antimatter Universe is a "universe of evil". On this Earth, Batman forcibly merged himself with the Flash to gain the power of the Speed Force, becoming the Red Death, after he had lost his significant family members, friends and non-metahuman allies. Batman and Robin face exceptionally benign villains, Contains updated versions of characters and storylines present in, The Earth of the classic Superman and Batman films, as further depicted in the comics, Superman and Supergirl are Earth's only powered heroes; Batman's parents were killed by the Joker, Crossover characters from DC and Marvel Comics, Contains updated versions of characters and storylines present in the. If, on the contrary, the universe has an infinite number of available states, then our usual statistical techniques are not predictive, and we are stuck. However, Dark Crisis took a step in the other direction and opened up a system for more stories. For this procedure to work, the total number of microstates, while very large, must be finite. On this Earth, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen tried to create their own superhero using thought-powered technology. If you take this type of theory seriously, it predicts that we are just some very special Boltzmann brains who have been deluded into thinking that we are observing a vast, homogeneous universe. And though Oliver Queen is dead, the mantle of Arrow has been passed down to his daughter, who will also be getting her own spin-off show. If the coin came up tails, the experimenters instruct their descendants to wake you up after 50 billion years. This understanding could take one of three forms. The Merciless, an evil fusion of Batman and the Greek God of War, Like the core Multiverse's Earth 12, an alternate future-related reality, in which, The Drowned, an evil female part-Atlantean version of Batman, The Devastator, a Doomsday version of Batman. On the one hand, you might argue that obviously the odds are 50/50. Although we cannot possibly keep track of the motion of all the individual molecules, we can make extremely precise predictions for how the gas as a whole will behave. The New Regime led by a brutal, dictatorial version of Superman, and the Insurgency, led by Batman. The Antimatter Universe held a special place in the Multiverse: there was an infinite number of "positive-matter universes" separated from each other by vibrational planes and there was a single Antimatter Universe. Ancient and terrible powers beyond comprehension awoke and brought with them an army of monsters. first story: Superman: Earth One (December 2010)[82][84]. In Infinite Frontier, it is identified as the remnants of the pre-Crisis Multiverse. Before the formal creation of its Multiverse, DC would use the "imaginary story" label to denote stories that did not fit and never were intended to fit into its canona tradition it would continue even after the creation of the Multiverse. This time, however, DC determined that it was time to take a different approach. The Trapper "pruned" his pocket reality until only Earth and Krypton had any life. Johns, Geoff(w),Jimenez, Phil; Perez, George; Reis, Ivan; Ordway, Jerry; Bennett, Joe(p). We imagine that the universe evolves for a large but finite amount of time and count all of the observations. This universe is a bright, optimistic place where no one ever dies (including the inhabitants of Krypton and Thomas and Martha Wayne). This Earth and its universe were destroyed by Perpetua, This Earth is in a 1930s/1940s style, while taking place in 2014, This Earth is a "binary universe" with Earth-40, and has been at war with them for five years, On this Earth, Superman is a black man named Kalel, originally from Krypton's, This Earth's Wonder Woman is a black woman named, According to Grant Morrison, this Earth's Superman is based on, Predominantly female heroes fight World War 2, Initially one of seven Earths deliberately left as unknown in, This Earth was temporarily destroyed by its version of, On this Earth, Leatherwing (Batman) and Robin Redblade (Robin) are pirates on the seven seas in a post-apocalyptic waterworld, Every superhero of this Earth is an amalgamation of two characters from the regular DC Universe. 2023 NautilusNext Inc., All rights reserved. The game's main plot surrounds the formation of the Regime of Evil, whose core characters include Thanos and Darkseid. Put simply, the theory predicts that the universe is on the verge of self-destruction. The implication is that this list will keep growing, which is a great move forward for DC, as it has determined that their primary source of creative freedom doesn't come from the main DC Universe, but from the Elseworlds stories that come from it. Therefore it contains elements of the history of Earth-Two, Earth-One and New Earth, as well as the possible futures of Earth-AD and the Pre-Zero Hour 31st Century. Lead image: Hubble Space Telescope image of the Egg Nebula. The second option on our list is that the universe has an infinite number of states available to it. The Earth of the 1960's Batman TV series. The universe has an infinite number of states available, avoiding the Boltzmann brain problem, yet approaches a steady-state behavior, allowing for a straightforward statistical analysis. We still find ourselves making absurd predictions. Then, you had parallel universes (like that of the Extremists) where the counterpart of Earth had a different name, as well as the realities of the Darkstars and Justice League series. Trying to answer a silly question can take you through some serious science. A universe which nearly destroyed Earth-19. This Earth's timeline was akin to Earth-1, Earth-2, and Earth-38's to a certain degree, such as its Oliver Queen becoming a trained archer, Kara Zor-El's arrival after the planet Krypton's apocalyptic demise, and. DC Wiki suggests that the Golden Age appearances of Superboy might have been on this Earth. We were so excited (and worried that someone else would have the same idea) that we wrote our paper in just two days after Pages paper appeared. Observers in distant parts of spacetime are too far apart and accelerating away from each other too fast to be able to send signals to each other, so they cannot synchronize their clocks. On this Earth, America lost the. The scenario may sound extreme, even silly. Our job is to develop a similar statistical understanding of events in the multiverse. The very best reason to believe this type of argument is that Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas at Austin used it to successfully predict the value of the cosmological constant a decade before it was observed. Established as an alternate universe in the season 2 finale. Its continents are named "Olympus" (Asia), "Asgard" (North and South America) and "Oceania" (Australia). We still find ourselves making absurd predictions. How do we do that for the entire universe? WebThe ending of Crisis on Infinite Earths had history rewritten so that there never was a multiverse, and instead there was just one universe that incorporated characters from The Multiverse has undergone numerous changes and has included various universes, listed below between the original Multiverse and its successors. Worse, many of these prescriptions predict that the vast majority of observers are Boltzmann brains. Evidently, the whole universe is not like a box of gas after all. Its members consist of, Kal-El's ship did not arrive on this Earth, Real designation unknown, informally referred to as "Earth-2", relative to the main Earth of, Kal-El was raised by Lionel Luthor instead of the Kents, growing up to be the powerful supervillain Ultraman, It was revealed in the comics that this Earth was later destroyed by the Monitors. Our stories take you into the depths of A compromise was done, where these properties were put back to various Earths in the multiverse, and the Arrowverse series were combined to a single Earth.[219]. The series ran from 2012 to 2015. The reality tried to replace Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but continued efforts to become the Trinity by the spellcasters made the reality inherently unstable, with a rapidly changing history. Our job is to develop a similar statistical understanding of events in the multiverse. Boltzmanns proposal was a bold extrapolation from his work on understanding gases. It was discovered by Professor Ray Palmer in his investigations of this dimension, In this place, the Power Girl (Karen Starr) of Prime Earth and Tanya Spears (Power Girl II) are trapped, Much like the regular Earth 11, all genders are reversed here. This world functions somewhat differently than most worlds of the multiverse. Grant Morrison defines Earth 34 and Earth 35, and possibly other neighboring Earths, as homes to "copies of copies", home to analogues to Justice League analogues produced by writers, Grant Morrison defines Earth-34 and Earth-35, and possibly other neighboring Earths, as homes to "copies of copies", home to analogues to Justice League analogues produced by writers, Described as a grim, lawless Earth of rapid technological advancement in the '60s, '70s and '80s, A real-time Earth where Batman and Superman debuted in the 1930s, as in, This Earth is a "binary universe" to Earth-20, containing evil counterparts of those characters, including, This Earth went to war against Earth-20 five years ago, Characters on this Earth are based on characters published by, This world had no evil, death, or violence until Earth-45's Superdoomsday showed up and killed their Superman.
