The 10^31 years in the title text is a clear reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_decay proton decay], with the proton expected to have a half-life between 10^31 and 10^36 years. But so far no evidence for this decay has been found, which is incompatible with the results given by various unified theories. So Cuarón is preventing the unification of this comics' fundamental forces of nature like the proton is preventing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory GUTs]. (Also, even the physics part has several layers of unification, the current one, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory GUTs], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything TOEs]) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.113|141.101.99.113]] 11:23, 16 February 2018 (UTC)<br />

Where is the unification of Marvel with Disney as well? I know, if you put in all the companies that Disney has merged with/bought over the years, it would take up way more room than the comic will allow. [[User:Nutster|Nutster]] ([[User talk:Nutster|talk]]) 14:50, 16 February 2018 (UTC)<br />

I think Randall missed "The Force" and "Midi-chlorians"! [[User:Neurozero|Neurozero]] ([[User talk:Neurozero|talk]]) 17:07, 16 February 2018 (UTC)</div>Neurozero
