Daria Multiverse: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

These universes are designated by a numerical combination (and, only rarely, letters) in the format "Daria-XXX", where XXX is a distinctive number. Since there is no way to automatically designate numbers, the method of assigning numbers is inspired by the late Marvel Comics editor Mark Gruenwald. In Marvel Universe cosmology, the "number" of a universe is determined by the number of a comic book where that universe made its first appearance, or is heavily influenced by that book. The number might also relate to an important date or fact about that alternate reality.

==Number of Universes in the Daria Multiverse==

We assume that the Daria Multiverse is a simple subset of the Multiverse, as there may be universes that don't have Daria. However, we will assume that all universes have Daria, since, well, Daria's so cool.

The number of universes is of a higher order of infinity than the integers (Aleph-Naught) provided that each universe has a finite amount of matter in it. By the same mathematical contruction that proves that the real numbers have higher cardinality than the integers, if the number of Daria universes were "countable", a new universe could be easily constructed which is not in the list. Therefore, the "number" of Daria universes is ''at least'' C, the cardinality of the real numbers.

However, with the existence or organizations like [[DELPHI]], the real possibility of cross-universe contamination exists. (See Daria-12 and Daria-13 as universes.) Therefore, it is more likely that the "number" of Daria universes is 2^C, or Aleph-One.

This is a number as uncountable as the set of all possible subsets of the real numbers. Integers are used to designate individual universes for ease of comprehension.
