论文摘要
在本文中，我将探讨Boltzmann Brains在漫画中（Marvel's Incredible Hercules），动画情景喜剧（Futurama）和一部电影（《银河护卫队》第2卷）中的一些用途。该概念的先前类似用途（在鲍尔茨曼大脑被命名为此类之前）将被追溯，并将分析对这些艺术渠道的潜在影响。我还将解释该概念是如何在2018年在布宜诺斯艾利斯（Buenos Aires）发行的一部小说中使用的（LaResurreccióndelos cerebros de Bolzmann，将以英文出版为“ Iridio Ennui vs. Boltzmann Brains”）。在简要审查了热力学的第二定律和Boltzmann Brains的概念之后，该论文分析了使用的四种艺术实例，回答了两个关键问题：a）在虚构的场景中呈现了（理论上）如何出现在星际空间的泡沫并突然消失的实体？ b）该情节是如何证明鲍尔茨曼大脑可能存在足够长时间以使其成为可行的虚构人物的合理性的？
In this article I will explore some uses of the concept of Boltzmann brains in comics (Marvel's The Incredible Hercules), an animated sitcom (Futurama) and a film (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). Previous similar uses of the concept (before Boltzmann brains were named as such) will be traced, and potential influences on these artistic outlets will be analysed. I will also explain how the concept was used in a novel published in 2018 by Ediciones Ayarmanot in Buenos Aires (La inevitable resurrección de los cerebros de Bolzmann, to be published in English as "Iridio Ennui vs. the Boltzmann brains"). After briefly reviewing the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of Boltzmann brains, the paper analyses the four artistic instances in which has been used, answering two key questions: a) How entities who (in theory) appear in the foam of interstellar space and suddenly disappear are presented in the fictional scenario? b) How the plot justifies that Boltzmann brains could exist for a time long enough to allow them to become viable fictional characters?
