[DC: Crisis on Two Earths] Owlman states that by destroying Earth Prime, it will destroy the rest of reality. Isn't this statement kinda untrue?

Direct quote *"Somewhere in the multiverse, there is a world I call "Earth Prime". Every Earth is a variation of this one, the original. And once I destroy it, all reality will follow."*

Is reality really based on Earth? What about Krypton (already destroyed but) what about the other planets and alien life out there? What about the poor souls in Apokolips? Will they be destroyed too because Earth Prime was destroyed?

Or was Owlman simply saying all reality, as in all reality for humans.

DC lore is always inexorably tied to Earth.

"Crisis on Infinite **Earths**" not "Crisis on Infinite Universes", right?

Johns admitted he made a bit of a mistake in placed the White Lantern Entity, one alleged source of all life, as emanating from Earth (irrespective of the planet's age compared to the universe).

So Owlman may be speaking in that tradition, but in a certain sense he is correct.  There is an Earth that gives *life* to all these worlds by creating them through its authors... which is another theme that rises up again and again in DC... Superman sings the universe into being or creates himself in All-Star or Garner Fox creates the Flash which inspires Barry to be the Flash, Superboy-Prime fights back by posting on DC Comics Forums, 5th Dimensional Imps break the 4th Wall, etc.

With DC, **fictional authorship actually creates real worlds** (Johns, DiDio, Siegel, Shuster, etc. have all appeared in arguably canonical comics) ... so if Owlman somehow finds a way to destroy the world of authors, then all of DC disappears.
