==Related paradoxes== [[Olbers' paradox]] is another paradox which aims to disprove an infinitely old static universe, but it only fits with a [[static universe]] scenario. Also, unlike Kelvin's paradox, it relies on [[cosmology]] rather than thermodynamics. The [[Boltzmann Brain]] can also be related to Kelvin's, as it focuses on the spontaneous generation of a brain (filled with false memories) from entropy [[statistical fluctuations|fluctuations]], in a universe which has been lying in a heat death state for an indefinite amount of time.<ref>{{cite arXiv|last=Carroll|first=Sean|author-link=Sean M.
