    So get this in DC Cosmology, the boundaries of the Universe are this massive impenetrable barrier called the Source Wa

    right? And on the other side is The Source, the cosmic originator of all things?

    Well, its pretty apparent that Sourcewall= Fourthwall.

    Because check this, when we see the multiverse, its set up like a massive cell structure, with the walls acting as

    membranes while being held together within the bleed, or to make it more literally, comic book panels within the

    gutter. From there we can see that the Sourcewall isnt only metaphorical comics "Fourthwall but the literal Fourthwall

    as well. In the same way that the stages Fourthwall is the invisible barrier between the audience and the front stage.

    Thus, what is the Source other than US.OUR reality? We are in fact the Source of everything in the DCU. Readers Writer

    editors etc., we all feed into the massive microverse that is those comics. Why do you think communication with The

    Source takes the form of writing?

    What makes this even better is how this gels with the Anti-Life Equation. What is the Anti-Life Equation? Its an objective

    proof of nihilism, effectively proving to any lifeform that its life is meaningless and pointless and worthless. Now, how

    else could one do that outside of SHOWING THEM that there life has no real value, that it isnt real? This is why we see

    the Antilife equation beyond the Source Wall, and why it is described as the negative aspect of the Source. Can you

    imagine what would happen to your psych if you found that you and everything youve ever known were mere fiction

    cooked up by the brains of a thousand different people? The Anti-Life equation would just be a Crimson Chin-esque

    existential blast.

    Now lets talk about The Flash. You ever notice how one is always involved in these various cosmic muckamucks? Flash

    of Two Worlds?

    Crisis on Infinite Earths?

    Final Crisis?

    Flashpoint?

    Because you really have to look at the nature of movement, time and the multiverse itself.

    The Speed Force is defined as the cosmological force that is the very act of movement within reality. It is in effect the

    abstract embodiment of agency. Now looking at the idea of the Multiverse, what is it other than a series of possibilities?

    Many Worlds theory literalizes this by presenting it as the result of an infinite chain of Boolean actions, but that

    mechanic need not objectively apply. But the neutral tenant is that what differs one world from the other is choice;

    movement. One particle is here instead of there, one earth is there instead of here. In effect the various configurations

    that Space can take up over Time form a Multiverse.

    So therefore, what more is the Speed Force that the cosmic engine that runs the Multiverse? This extends to the time

    travel powers they all have as well. (As seen in the very first issue of Barry comics) time itself is merely the summation o

    various actions taken on each other in scale. When you extend these many points, or actions in series with each other

    you get a line. The timeline, but in a multiversal model you account for all the OTHER possible actions not accounted for

    and thus you achieve a massive branching cube time.

    This is what we call "Hypertime."

    You can see this then that the various Flashes act as its champions called upon the Speed Force to serve it in times of

    multiversal crisis.

    And, for bonuses, as we stated above the Multiverse is made from the Red of the Bleed and the Yellow of the Source

    Wall.

    And what colors are The Flashes? And the Speed Force?

    Red and Yellow

    These are also the colors of the Waverider, seer of Hypertime.

    (Whose Skin was made to create the time traveler Skeets)

    And , most importantly, the Kryptonian Symbol of"Hope." For what is Hope but the recognition of Possibility. (Thus the

    sea of Blue in the background)

    This is why Barry Allen was given a Blue Lantern Ring.

    By that same onus Thats why Barry was able to

    overwhelm Darkseids Anti-Life Equation in Final Crisis.

    The Speed Force ("3X2(9YZ)4A") is the Life Equation.

    Speaking of the Lanterns this acts a good Segway here. Now what is a Lantern? They are, regardless of the color, devices

    that translate the energy of a pure emotive drive into physical aspects. A construct. They are in effect the end point of

    the very IDEA of technology (or magic, from which out word Machine share its roots.)

    And what does the energy take the form of? A Flame.

    Going off the Promethean and symbolic aspects of Flame as the embodiment

    of Human Progression and achievement. (See: The Flame of Olympus) we can

    take this to the realm of the New Gods.

    Remember, when the forge god Himon created them, he needed to give them

    a mysterious rapport with nature they were powered by Element X, the

    ultimate power source.

    This Power Source of Course, when seen, was a burning white flame.

    The Same white flame that we see the Entity embody; the sum total of all the

    emotive drive of the universe.(In the same way White Light is the sum total of

    the Spectrum)

    Thus we can see continuity. From the basic fire uses by the first men

    To the Super Science Lantern Rings

    To The Anything-inator: the Miracle Machine

    To the God Box, the Mother Box.

    Devices at their core that are the same as any device, something that translates living desire, living will (thus it being at

    the center of the spectrum) into an action.

    That's why it is the most powerful force in the universe. Its Imagination.

    For after all what are comic, stories, cultures, nations, or ideals but imagination? What makes us human, are sentience is

    that we can take our feelings and manifest them in ways utterly new to the world. Our Language are technology our

    fiction, all began as ideas within us. Making something up doesnt mean it's not real, making something up makes it

    REALER.

    The Comisc Flame, Emotional Engine, whatever you want to call it, it's the same thing at the core of all of us. And in the

    dramatized Hyper-Energy real of Superheroics.it's the most powerful force there, because it's the most powerful force

    here.
