In SUPERMAN: War Of The Supermen’ (2010) #2, titled “The Battle For Mars,” Lex Luthor performs an intelligence feat. In an all-out war with Zod and his Kryptonian army, General Lane commissions Lex Luthor to stop the attack on Earth. During the battle, Lex Luthor uses Rao’s cadaver and time pool technology to convert Sol into a red giant.

How much intelligence does it take for Lex Luthor to uses Rao’s cadaver and time pool technology to convert Sol into a red giant?

LEX LUTHOR USED RAO’S CADAVER TO TURN EARTH’S YELLOW SUN INTO RAO, THE RED GIANT.

LEX LUTHOR USED TIME POOL TECHNOLOGY TO TIME TRAVEL 5 BILLION YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, SENDING A MISSILE TO CONVERT THE EARTH’S YELLOW SUN INTO A RED GIANT.

Lex Luthor used highly advanced technology in order to achieve two things: harness the power of a red giant, namely, the cadaver of Rao; and use time pool technology in order to time travel five billion years into the future, when Sol, our yellow sun, turns into a red giant.

We will calculate these measures to estimate the amount of information required to use time pool technology to time travel five billion years into the future.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

We can assume Lex Luthor sent a missile to time travel five billion years into the future since that is when Sol, our yellow sun, turns into a red giant.

Let’s calculate the energy produced by the sun in 5 billion years. The sun produces 3.846*10^26 J/s of energy.

Energy Produced By The Sun In 5 Billion Years = (3.846*10^26 J/s)(12 months*30 days*24 hr*8600 s*5*10^9 years) = 1.4288659*10^44 J.

Currently, humans have not figured out time travel. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, an object would have to travel at the speed of light in order to time travel. According to Space.com, at the speed of light, an object would have infinite mass and a length of 0.

INTELLIGENCE

Lex Luthor used time pool technology to send a missile armed with Rao’s energy to time travel five billion years in order to turn Sol, our yellow sun, into Rao, a red giant. Time pool technology utilizes time travel in order to access different points in time. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time travel requires to attain the speed of light, which requires an infinite amount of energy. Therefore, Lex Luthor likely processed an infinite amount of information in order to arm the missile and send it for time travel five billion years into the future.

Lex Luthor had to process an Infinite Level of Intelligence to use time pool technology and arm the missile with Rao’s cadaver.

Calculations for Lex Luthor, ‘Superman: War Of The Supermen’ #2

Energy Produced By The Sun = 3.846*10^26 J.
Time For The Sun To Turn Into A Red Giant = 5*10^9 years.
Bytes Of Information In A Human Being = 2.5*10^15 Bytes.
Bytes Of Information In The Internet = 1200*10^15 Bytes.

Energy Produced By The Sun In 5 Billion Years = (3.846*10^26 J/s)(12 months*30 days*24 hours*8600 s*5*10^9 year)/(1 year*1 month*1 day*1 hour) = 1.4288659*10^44 J.
Energy To Time Travel = ∞.
Bytes Of Information = ∞.
