We see brown shoes and what look to be Jeans. Otherwise, we would be Boltzmann brains. The survivors hope that the Earth can be healed, but the nuclear aftermath has left them with scars that never will heal.

Second, perhaps the multiverse is able to explore an infinite number of different states, in which case it never forgets its initial conditions, and we cannot make predictions unless we know what those conditions are. Otherwise, we would be Boltzmann brains. Suppose that you flip a coin and do not see the result. Was stated as being separate from Earth-B, A brief glimpse of a Hypertime version of this Earth is seen in, An Earth based around the "grim 'n gritty" stories of the 1980s, the heroes of this Earth were actually part of an experiment created by the government. Its two main worlds, New Genesis and Apokolips, are mirror reflections of each other: New Genesis, the bright, glorious home ruled by Highfather, and Apokolips, the fiery, horrific home of the evil warlord Darkseid and his minions. Based on the hit videogame INFINITE CRISIS, the Transposed with Earth-One. Dark Crisis led DC in a very different direction than most readers expected, as what was initially sold as the death of the Justice League wound up becoming the birth Dark Crisis: The Dark Army is written by Mark Waid, Delilah S. Dawson, and Dennis Culver, penciled by Jack Herbert and Freddie E. Williams II, colored by Adriano Lucas, and lettered by Troy Petteri. This strange effect occurs because the volume of space is exponentially expanding and never stops. Designated Earth-X on the cover and in the story title, but not in the story itself. This helps, as The New 52 introduced a Dark Multiverse that uses negative numbers (i.e., Earth -3). Cosmologists generally assume it must have begun that way, but Boltzmann pointed out that, over the vastness of the eons, even a chaotic universe will randomly fluctuate into a highly ordered state. If this assumption were correct, our world would return more and more to thermal equilibrium; but because the whole universe is so great, it might be probable that at some future time some other world might deviate as far from thermal equilibrium as our world does at present.. Crisis on Infinite Earths revolves directly around a cosmic being known as Mar Novu, or The Monitor. The Joker and Mr. Mxyzptlk summon Batmen and Supermen from various realities, both previously established worlds as well as unexplored ones.[12]. 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. Any proposal that predicts that we are Boltzmann brains must perforce be wrong. He can be found most days actively dismantling the rules of a local TTRPG and can be reached at ben.b@cbr.com. Also known as Warworld. Paperback August 11, 2015. To make predictions, we would need a theory of initial conditions. This Harrison Wells is an adventurer who would later become a ". The "Library of Limbo" contains only one book, Shares a similar history with the previous amalgamated Earths, This Earth was created by merging Earth-0, the Vertigo Universe hypertimeline, and the Wildstorm Universe hypertimeline from the previous Multiverse in the wake of the, The only known heroes so far are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Teen Titans (corresponding with announced, This Earth mainly features modernized versions of DC's heroes from the Golden Age of Comics and characters associated with later, Notable character differences among many include a younger, gay version of Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, who leads the Wonders; Superman is succeeded by Val-Zod, a black-skinned Kryptonian pacifist; Aquawoman (Marella) is the Queen of Atlantis; Terry Sloan, formerly known as Mr. 8, is a universe-hopping villain; and Oliver Queen is the Red Arrow, This Earth's Supergirl and Robin were transported to Prime Earth during the war, where they assumed the identities of, Following the destruction of Earth-2 by Darkseid, the assembled heroes restart human civilization on a new planet in. Three Phantom Zone criminals destroyed all life on Earth, leaving the reality a dead wasteland with the Matrix Supergirl being the only survivor. 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. For instance, if 10 percent of observers live in regions of the multiverse where dark matter is made out of light particles (such as axions), while 90 percent of observers live in regions where dark matter is made out of heavy particles (which, counterintuitively, are called WIMPs), then we have a 10 percent chance of discovering that dark matter is made of light particles. But then were back to the problem of initial conditions. Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and others were killed in a terrorist attack at the Daily Planet. 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. The issue came into focus via a thought experiment suggested by Alan Guth of theMassachusettsInstitute ofTechnology and Vitaly Vanchurin at the University of Michigan in Duluth. Suppose that the population of Earth doubles every 30 yearsforever. An Earth of sapient metasimians known as the Primate Legion, consisting of. First, the multiverse, though very large, might be able to explore only a finite number of different states, just like an ordinary box of gas. On this Earth, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen tried to create their own superhero using thought-powered technology. Lead image: Hubble Space Telescope image of the Egg Nebula. By calculating what happens frequently and what happens rarely in the multiverse, we can make statistical predictions for what we will observe. They include: This Earth was somewhat similar to Earth-8, but has been destroyed by the Gentry in what is called "The Essential Genocide Crossover", at least on Earth-16, This version of Earth is called "Angor" by its inhabitants, The Retaliators are the main superhero team, opposing. "Infinite Luthor". In an infinite multiverse, physics loses its ability to make predictions. Appeared as an alternate Earth in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" tie-in comic. He works on fundamental questions in gravity and cosmology.

Therefore, the theory conflicts with observation: It predicts that typical observers should see a completely blank sky, without stars, when they look up at night. Members of the New Reischmen include Overgirl (an alternate version of Supergirl), the Dark Arrow (an alternate version of the Green Arrow). This Earth's version of Supergirl, called Overgirl, is a human girl who was injected with genetic material from Overman and gained his superpowers. A small fluctuation that makes an ordered structure in a small part of space is far, far more likely than a large fluctuation that forms ordered structures over a huge region of space. the Joker, who later kills Richart. Johns, Geoff(w),Jimenez, Phil; Perez, George; Reis, Ivan; Ordway, Jerry; Bennett, Joe(p). This universe and its inhabitants were destroyed by an anti-matter wave in the, Zeppelins and Tommy guns are popular here. For this procedure to work, the total number of microstates, while very large, must be finite. Although it turns out to be wrong, in its failure we find the roots of our current predicament. Residents include. On this world, Bryce Wayne mass-murdered all metahumans in revenge for the death of her lover, Sylvester Kyle. "The Battle of Santa Barbara--Times Two!". Writer Grant Morrison mentioned in interviews that "Doc Fate, a combination of Doc Savage and Dr. These infinities lead to paradoxes and puzzles wherever we turn. So, whenever we make a prediction in physics, we need to specify what the initial conditions are. 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? Home to genetically engineered warriors bred to wage war against Lord Darkseid. Kal-El, a.k.a. Gotham Police Detective Bruce Wayne, who has been framed for murder, then becomes Batman and Barbara later assumes the Robin mantle while seeking revenge for her lover's death. Therefore, the theory conflicts with observation: It predicts that typical observers should see a completely blank sky, without stars, when they look up at night. [215] Ezra Miller's Barry Allen from the DC Extended Universe makes a cameo appearance in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Four". [31], The Guardians of the Universe serve as protectors of the new Multiverse. Complex structures, including life, arise only when there are weird fluctuations. Finally, the multiverse might explore an infinite number of different states, but the exponential expansion of space effectively erases the initial conditions. The game also features alternate skins for many of the characters, such as Spider-Man's Superior Spider-Man skin, and Superman's Regime skin. So, we must seek a new approach to making predictions in cosmology. The New 52 and Convergence restored the Pre-Crisis Multiverse; all Pre-Crisis Earths below 52 are spelled out (i.e., Earth-Three), realities from the 52 Multiverse use a hyphen (Earth-3), and realities from the New 52 Multiverse use a space (i.e., Earth 3). The fact that two logical lines of argument yield contradictory answers tells us that the problem is not well-defined. Trying to answer a silly question can take you through some serious science. This universe and its inhabitants were destroyed by an anti-matter wave in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three". We count how many observers in the multiverse measure a physical quantity to have a given value. But then we still find ourselves making absurd predictions. Physicists have always hoped that once we understood the fundamental laws of physics, they would make unambiguous predictions for physical quantities. The Dawnbreaker, an evil Green Lantern version of Batman. One Monitor called himself the "Anti-Monitor" and initiated a crisis on the Earths that ended with the near extinction of the Monitors. But an important issue tends to go unnoticed in debates over the multiverse. Native home of the Forerunners, creatures bred by the Monitors from all the alien races of the inhabited solar systems after the destruction of all human life on Earth (now called War World) in a war against the rest of the solar system. Designed to have the feel of "The Hills". This assumption must be incorrect. If the molecules begin in a fairly improbable configuration, they will naturally evolve to a more probable one as they bounce around randomly. DC's one universe, one timeline idea was silently killed off with the creation of the pocket universe (which was to explain why the Legion of Super-Heroes still remembered a Superboy when none existed in the Post-Crisis reality). It's a great strategy for creative storytelling and a perfect way to make the DC multiverse even broader, keeping in line with the DCEU's upcoming Elseworlds stories. But when we apply our rules for how to do calculations in an eternally expanding universe, we find that you should bet that you only slept for one year. An Earth of pulp characters, both derived from classic DC characters and also drawing on classic literary pulp characters. If the molecules begin in a fairly improbable configuration, they will naturally evolve to a more probable one as they bounce around randomly. A swirling cloud, all of a sudden, just so happens to take the shape of a person. A pocket reality created by the Time Trapper as part of an elaborate plan to destroy the Legion of Super-Heroes. 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. Slightly divergent Hypertime versions called, The Tangent characters were radically re-envisioned solely on the basis of the existing DC trademark, Daine Jensen, a.k.a. The overall volume of space is growing, and the number of bubbles of every type is growing, but the ratio (and the probabilities) remain fixed. Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse is an Infinite Crisis tie-in comic book series published by DC Comics, consisting of 36 issues. From time to time, people perform these sleeper experiments, except now the subjects sleep either for 1 year or for 100 years. storyline in Superman/Batman, the Multiverse is visited by Bizarro and Batzarro. As seen in the events of DC's nearly completed Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, those infinite worlds have been restored to DC's multiverse -- and they're already Jesse Quick also acted as "the Flash" on Earth-3 while Jay Garrick was trapped in the Speed Force. 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.
