Stark-Banner Omniverse Theories

The Stark-Banner Omniverse Theories are a series of theories proposed by Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner before and during the Pre-Convergence. The theories range from 2009 to 2015 and were proposed as a means to comprehend the state of the Omniverse and its future. These theories mark the earliest point in time of the prehistory of New Earth.
The first four proposed theories answered the question as to both the Omniverse's existence and its exact nature. It is for these reasons that they are referred to as the Essential Theories, since they were essential to proving the existence of the Omniverse.
The theories proposed after the Essential Theories were made to gain a better understanding of why the Omniverse worked how it worked, as well as to better understand the history of the Omniverse. These were known as Additional Theories, and they were each proposed in 2015.
Each of these theories would see massive study after the 2015 Convergence by scholars, students, and citizens alike. Through this, they became a staple in New Earth's prehistory.
==Essential Theories (2009–2013)==
===Stark's Parallel Twin theory===
This theory was proposed by Tony Stark in late 2009.
The theory is as follows:
:One reality contains every being, dead or alive. If there are realities parallel to said reality, then the parallel reality contains parallel versions of beings in the original reality.
Stark referred to parallel versions of beings as Parallel Twins, hence the name of the theory. Stark placed no emphasis on a specific reference frame, and so he implied that all realities are parallel to one another, thus they each contain their own Parallel Twins.
This theory wasn't proven correct until late 2013 upon the proof of Stark's Blood Moons theory, which was based on Banner's Convergence theory.
===Stark's 12 Dimensions theory===
This theory was proposed by Tony Stark in 2012 to both quantify the dimensions of reality and gain a better understanding of the Omniverse.
Essentially, Stark suggested that, through a repetitive intuitive process, the Omniverse existed as a collection of multiverse planes. Through the process, Stark was able to place the Omniverse as the twelfth dimension of reality.
This theory wasn't proven correct until late 2013 upon the proof of Stark's Blood Moons theory, which was based on Banner's Convergence theory.
===Banner's Convergence theory===
This theory was developed by Dr. Bruce Banner in 2012. The theory stated that the ultimate state of the Omniverse was that it would be the only reality after some convergence of all reality took place. It wouldn't be until the end of 2013 that this convergence received a date—December 21, 2015—thanks to Stark's Blood Moons theory.
Visions of the future inspired the theory, though it wasn't proven correct until late 2013 upon the proof of Stark's Blood Moons theory, which was based on Banner's Convergence theory.
===Stark's Blood Moons theory===
This theory is an additional statement to Dr. Bruce Banner's 2012 Convergence theory. Proposed by Tony Stark in late 2013, the Blood Moons theory states that the Convergence must have a strong connection to four consecutive total lunar eclipses ("Blood Moons") between April 2014 and September 2015. Stark stated that each Blood Moon marks the start of a phase of the Convergence in which the merging of all reality occurs more rapidly and dramatically than the previous phase. He concluded that, after all four phases, the final convergence of reality would occur, ending with the ultimate state of the Omniverse where all reality exists in one plane of existence. Based on observations of when the Blood Moons were set to occur, Stark concluded that the final convergence would occur from October 29 to December 21, 2015, though he referred to it as the 2015 Convergence.
Personal observations by Banner and Stark proved the Blood Moons theory to be true, and so by consequence the Convergence theory was automatically true. This also proved Stark's Parallel Twin and 12 Dimensions theories from 2009 and 2012, respectively, to be correct. This was the essential proof that verified the existence of the Omniverse.
==Additional Theories (2015–2016)==
===Stark's Thought Schools===
Stark described the schools of existential thought in February 2015. He delineated four schools—realism, solipsism, idealism, and rationalism—as a means of describing how others perceived and experienced reality and the Omniverse. Based on his own descriptions, Stark identified himself and Banner as Idealists.
===Stark-Banner Shard Bearer theory===
This theory, initially called the Shard Bearer hypothesis, was originally a hypothesis proposed by Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner on March 22, 2015. The hypothesis regarded the 1974 Tesseract Shatter and asked whether or not there were other beings in the Omniverse that possessed a shard of the Tesseract, referred to as Shard Bearers. Stark is one such Shard Bearer. After it was proven true on March 24, 2015, it became known as the Shard Bearer theory.
Stark noted that, since the Tesseract shattered into many shards and one such shard travelled into his own mind, the same must be true for the other shards; other shards must have travelled into different parts of the Omniverse and, therefore, into different beings and/or objects. However, Stark was unable to discern which beings contained different shards due to a lack of information.
On March 24, 2015, the All told Stark that there indeed were other Shard Bearers in the Omniverse, thus proving the theory to be correct.
===Stark's Omniversal Dimensionality theory===
Proposed by Stark on April 25, 2015, this theory suggests that the Omniverse exists in more than one Omnidimension, which Stark defined as a single plane of existence contained within the Omniverse. At the time of the theory's proposition, Stark was unable to grasp the quantity of Omnidimensions, though he delineated two possible Omnidimensions.
*The Phenomenal Omniverse — The part of the Omniverse that can be observed by many, "the Dimension of Sight"
**The 12 Dimensions of Reality
*The Nominal Omniverse — The part of the Omniverse that can be observed by few, "the Dimension of Mind"
**The Nightmare Realm
**The Empty Void
**The Domain of the Council of the Stars (added May 5, 2015)
*The Whole Omniverse — The part of the Omniverse that can be observed by sight and mind alone, "the Dimension of All" (added May 12, 2015)
**The Infinity Staff (added May 12, 2015)
Stark's challenge was finding a way to prove that such dimensionality existed, or even if there were only two Omnidimensions. He consulted Banner on the matter as a means of unraveling the question.
On May 5, 2015, Stark began to unravel the questions he proposed. He went over his layout of two Omnidimensions before assuming there were three of them. At first, he assumed that the third Omnidimension was a part of the Omniverse beyond the senses, though this wouldn't allow the Council Deities to have as much power as they did. Stark then realized that, in linking the Phenomenal and Nominal Omnidimensions, one could describe the third Omnidimension as the entire Omniverse. In effect, Stark proved that there were three Omnidimensions, though he was still unable to prove such dimensionality to be true.
On May 12, 2015, following his work with Banner on the Omniversal Time Dilation theory, Stark realized that there was indeed a third Omnidimension, which existed as the Infinity Staff. However, he was still left with no definitive proof of Omnidimensionality.
===Stark-Banner Omiversal Time Dilation theory===
Conjectured by Stark on May 3, 2015, and based on Banner's observations of the sporadic nature of time within the Omniverse, this theory asked questions about how time worked in the Omniverse. Banner had noted that, on average, time within their own universe differed from that of the Staff by an average factor of 7, and the two of them knew and understood that the Staff was the fundamental basis for the Omniverse. Stark referred to the difference of time between any universe and the Staff as an Omniversal Time Dilation.
Stark asked the following questions:
*Why does the Omniversal Time Dilation occur?
*Does the Omniversal Time Dilation vary from universe to universe?
*Is there some constant that can describe the average Omniversal Time Dilation for the Phenomenal Omniverse?
After pondering these questions for 9 days, Stark had asked these questions to Banner. Through some work, they discovered that indeed there was a constant to describe the average OTD—42. Through this, they finally understood why 42 was such a powerful and important number in the Omniverse. Later, Stark would refer to 42 as the Omniverse Constant, since much of the Omniverse was based on the number 42.
During their thought process, Stark realized that the Staff was the third Omnidimension, since it encapsulated the entire Nominal and Phenomenal Omniverses as one single entity.
===Stark's Omniverse formulae===
Starting in May 2015, Stark began to devise Omniverse formulae, which would allow him to predict and describe the Omniverse using mathematics, science, and mysticism.
The first formula described by Stark is a mathematical description of what the Omniverse is. It was formulated on June 26, 2015, becoming the first Omniverse formula.
Let Ω be the Omniverse, dΩ be the quantity of Omnidimensions, t be time, and dr be the quantity of real dimensions.
:\Omega=\int_{d_\Omega=1}^{3}{\int_{t=-13.7*10^{9}}^{\infty\,}{\int_{d_r=0}^{12}{(d_{\Omega}td_{r})^{\pi\Psi\xi}}\,}\,}\!\mathrm{d}d_\Omega\,\mathrm{d}t\,\mathrm{d}d_r\,
Still, Stark knew there had to be more descriptions for the Omniverse. This in mind, Stark set out to formulate what he deemed the Standard Model of the Omniverse. This formula would allow him to describe the ways that the Omniverse functions.
===Stark-Banner Theory on the True Origin of the All===
As of now, no one knows how the All came to be in the first place. However, on May 27, 2016, Stark devised a theory on the All's true origin. He thought that the All's body was simply a physical (or metaphysical) manifestation of His essence, which Stark deemed the Creation Spirit. When the All's body was formed, He then created the Council Deities and formed the Council of the Stars in order to create the Staff.
Upon further collaboration with Banner on May 28, 2016, the theory expanded to be that the Creation Spirit originated from one of two scenarios:
#The death of the All in the previous age of the universe led to the Creation Spirit's existence after it.
#The Creation Spirit has lived through many ages of the universe before.
This, in part, answered the question of why the All was so intent on creating the Staff. It's likely that the Staff has always been His goal, but He has never managed to attain it.
The only thing not even remotely answered is the true origin of Devil Hulk. However, his existence may have followed one of two scenarios:
#Devil Hulk was a good seed gone bad.
#Devil Hulk has always been the antithesis to the All's work, always thwarting His plans whenever He comes close to fulfilling them.
There is still much to be learned about the All's history.
===Stark's Omniversal Age theory===
This theory was hypothesized on June 18, 2016, by Stark as an addendum to the Theory on the True Origin of the All and an answer to the existence of the Creation Spirit. Upon thinking about these things, Stark came to the conclusion that there were seven previous ages of the Omniverse before the current one. He wasn't able to tell their chronological order, but he felt it would explain a few things:
*Why are the Council Deities who they are?
*Why is the All so keen on creating the Infinity Staff?
*Why did each previous age fail?
Following Stark's theory, the ages of the Omniverse would be as follows:
*The Athenian Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Athena.
*The Brahman Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Brahma.
*The Buddhan Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Buddha.
*The Jehovan Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Jehovah.
*The Jupiterian Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Zeus (Jupiter).
*The Neptunian Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Poseidon (Neptune).
*The Odinian Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifested itself as Odin.
*The Ultimate Age — Age in which the Creation Spirit manifests itself as the All. Also the current age.
To Stark, the only reliably ordered age was the Ultimate Age, which would be the 8th age under his theory.
