It Might Explain How Everything Ends Up There

I had a thought while I was doing that Dial H post two days ago. I was thinking about how odd it would be that so many dials wound up on Earth: Roxie's, Nelson's, the Canadian's S-Dial, Yabba's dial, and now the E-Dial wound up there. Plus, there was O's observations that if he were to use his Doom Dial, he'd more than likely dial an Apocalypse from Nelson's Earth.

You know those representations of the curve of space time? Like this one here? Where the mass of the object - star, planet, what have you - is causing a depression in the fabric of space time, and that's the representation of its gravitational effect.

At the end of Flashpoint, as Barry tries to make it back to the present and fix everything he fouled up, a woman speaks to him, Pandora. She tells him the problem is bigger than he thinks. There are three universes that were once one, and need to be again. And that's how we wound up with the new 52.

Here's what I was thinking. Could combining three universes into one produce a similar effect in the multiverse? Make the resulting universe a super-dense universe, a larger-scale neutron star? You can travel between them - we saw it in Dial H, and we've seen it with both Power Girl and Huntress, and with Mr. Terrific. The universes don't exist entirely separately from each other, they are in the same, I don't know, super-universe, meta-reality, whatever the term is. So the universes themselves could exert a pull on each other, or things that move between. The universes do contain matter, which has mass. So if there's one that's three times larger than the others, it would exert a greater effect on the others, draw things to it more readily.

Like dials, for example.

Egad!

One thing I'd need to figure out is how Mr. Terrific's traveling to Earth-2 factors in. If it's easier for things to be drawn the New 52verse, it ought to be harder to move away.

But he managed it, somehow.
