This article was originally published onNautilus Cosmosin January 2017. They now defend the Earth from threats within and beyond, particularly the Doom Legion and their villainous assassin robots. [216], At the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", a new multiverse was created, notably merging Earth-1, Earth-38, the Earth of Black Lightning, and the original Earth-2 into the new Earth-Prime as well as creating a new Earth-2. Nash Wells' adoptive daughter Maya died on this Earth while on an adventure. The probability of our observing a given outcome equals the proportion of observers in the multiverse who observe that outcome. He discovers there that a new crisis is arising, one that threatens all of the universes. It would thus require a profound shift in the way physicists think. Worse, many of these prescriptions predict that the vast majority of observers are Boltzmann brains. 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. He can be found most days actively dismantling the rules of a local TTRPG and can be reached at ben.b@cbr.com. Our universe is intricately structured, so it is analogous to a gas that clusters in one corner of a boxa state that is far from equilibrium. Crucially, the predictions do not depend on the initial conditions. It has to do with what are now called Boltzmann brains. Suppose the universe is like a box of gas and, most of the time, is in thermal equilibriumjust a uniform, undifferentiated gruel. As the molecules bounce around, they will arrange and rearrange themselves in every possible way they can, thus exploring all their possible configurations, or microstates. This process will erase the memory of how the gas started out, allowing us to ignore the problem of initial conditions. ".

Attributing the idea to his assistant, known to history only as Dr. We imagined that the underlying physical laws would explain why the mass of the Higgs particle must be 125 gigaelectron-volts, as was recently discovered, and not any other value, and also make predictions for new particles that are yet to be discovered. For example, "Crisis on Earth-Three!" Crisis of the Multiverse (Short 2019) - IMDb All Watchlist Sign In EN Cast & crew IMDbPro All topics Crisis of the Multiverse 2019 YOUR RATING Rate Short Drama Our problems arise because the multiverse is an infinite expanse of space and time. First appeared as a potential, future timeline visited by the Legends of Earth-1, where John Diggle, Jr., operating as Connor Hawke, serves as the Green Arrow, and Grant Wilson is Deathstroke. 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. Any proposal that predicts that we are Boltzmann brains must perforce be wrong. Though Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint are both brilliant stories, their practical fallout was largely reactionary. Suppose that you flip a coin and do not see the result. 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. This page was last edited on 18 January 2023, at 17:01. Instead, what we can measureand would like to make predictions foris the coarse-grained properties of the box of gas, such as the temperature and the pressure. But can we imagine, on the other side, how small a part of the whole universe this world is? On this world, the degradation of Earth's ozone layer exposed the Earth to a previously unknown type of radiation that gave 29 random people superpowers. These infinities lead to paradoxes and puzzles wherever we turn. The Justice Society of America did not disband in the 1950s, but became Justice Society International and created a mistrust of the heroes who would form the Justice League. So, whenever we make a prediction in physics, we need to specify what the initial conditions are. Thomas, Roy(w),Hoberg, Rick(p),Collins, Bill(i). Roughly, the procedure to make predictions goes as follows. 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.

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. As in. Otherwise the system will never be able to explore all its states. 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. From the first cells to unique minds, in the editors note from Print Issue 46. Right now, we dont have one. Earth-13's Bruce Wayne remains its last survivor and is held prisoner on Mars in the main universe of, This Earth was destroyed when it was torn apart in a collision with Earth-9, due to a Bleed quake caused by one of the Monitors, Real designation unknown, this Earth derives its name from the superhero Mister Majestic, the alternate version of Superman, Real designation unknown, this Earth derives its name from the Omega symbol used by Darkseid. Justice League, The Titans, and Earth One villains. "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). 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. What is needed in this case is some additional information about how the exponential growth stops. Then we calculate what happens when the time becomes arbitrarily large. A universe which nearly destroyed Earth-19. Although it turns out to be wrong, in its failure we find the roots of our current predicament. If the universe, like a box of gas, can exist in only a finite number of available states, theory predicts that we are Boltzmann brains, which conflicts with observations, not to mention common sense. A teenage Superman (Superboy) and his dog (Krypto) are Earth's first superheroes; later, home to the Superfriends, Super Soldier, Dark Claw and other "amalgamated" heroes. Spoilers for Avengers 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). So, we must seek a new approach to making predictions in cosmology. And indeed many people have criticized the multiverse concept on just these grounds. So, for example, it is more likely that the gas is spread uniformly throughout the box rather than clumped in one corner, because only very special microstates have all of the gas molecules in one region of the box. By calculating what happens frequently and what happens rarely in the multiverse, we can make statistical predictions for what we will observe. Spoilers for Avengers Forever #12 by Marvel Comics Marvel's Avenger Prime has officially unveiled his true form, as Loki reveals himself as the hero responsible for assembling the Multiversal Avengers. (Earth-9602)[18] A crucial assumption in Boltzmanns argument is that there are only a finite (if very large) number of molecular configurations. 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]. 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. Felicity Smoak arrived to this universe to seek information on the planet, This Harrison Wells, known as Wells the Grey, is inspired by the wizard. To be clear about the conclusion: No one thinks that time suddenly ends in spacetimes like ours, let alone that we should be conducting peculiar hibernation experiments. The basic idea of how to make predictions in such a theory is simple. Complex structures, including life, arise only when there are weird fluctuations. One of the Snarts (Leonard, Lisa or Lewis) is Mayor of Central City. Mathematically, we can choose many different conceivable ways to synchronize clocks across these large regions of space, and these different choices lead to different predictions for what types of observations are likely or unlikely. This Earth's Justice League is composed of marshals operating in the Wild West. Credit:NASA, W. Sparks (STScI) and R. Sahai (JPL). During Dark Crisis: Big Bang #1 (by Dan Jurgens and Mark Waid), the Flash runs through dozens of universes and draws a map at the end of the issue. The reason is that all our theories in physics are dynamical: The fundamental physical laws describe what will happen, given what already is. This Earth hides a great and terrible secret. On this world, Bryce Wayne mass-murdered all metahumans in revenge for the death of her lover, Sylvester Kyle. One of two new "centers" of the Multiverse after the Infinite Frontier was opened up. According to Deathstroke, the Multiverse needs to end because it has hurt too many, including his children. 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 Earths 1, 2, 4, S and X. He claims that he will let the Justice League's world die for the true Multiverse to be reborn. Dark matter might be fluid in galaxies but something else on vaster, cosmological scales. 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. Filled with rage, he disabled his ring's safeguard against lethal force and used its powers to murder criminals. The game's main plot surrounds the formation of the Regime of Evil, whose core characters include Thanos and Darkseid. In case of the Dark Multiverse however, "New Earth" was formed from Earth-Two, the world of the Justice Society of America.

This assumption must be incorrect. Each issue contains a code to unlock a champion in Infinite Crisis. Dini, Paul; McKeever, Sean(w),Calafiore, Jim(p),Leisten, Jay(i). Consider two options. The fact that two logical lines of argument yield contradictory answers tells us that the problem is not well-defined. If the coin came up heads, the experimenters wake you up after one year. The multiverse appears to offer a middle way. The inhabitants of this Earth were Overman (Superman's counterpart), who went mad and destructive after contracting a. There is no universal way to define a moment in time. Worlds in the Dark Multiverse are designated with negative numbers. From time to time, people perform these sleeper experiments, except now the subjects sleep either for 1 year or for 100 years. There is no step-by-step process that sculpts it.

A theory of initial conditions would require a profound shift in the way physicists think. 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. The Trapper "pruned" his pocket reality until only Earth and Krypton had any life. Appeared, retroactively, as an alternate universe in, This universe wasn't officially named until the ", Earth-90 Flash would later sacrifice himself to save the multiverse during the events of "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Contents 1 History 2 Notes 3 Trivia He was a Ph.D student of Leonard Susskind at Stanford University and a postdoc under the guidance of Raphael Bousso at U.C. TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE INFINITE This is not an April Fool story. Earth-D featured a more ethnically diverse version of several Earth-One heroes, such as an Asian Flash, a Black Superman and an American Indian Green Arrow. 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. 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).
