I\\\'m not sure if it\\\'s worth mentioning on the main page, but the music from various time periods gets referenced in one of the audio logs. Apparently, some guy\\\'s brother made a fortune by recording the music that came through the tears and selling it. It is hinted that this is why there\\\'s, for example, a barbershop quartet (somewhat amusingly called \\\"Columbia\\\'s gayest quartet\\\" - I know that it meant something different in 1912, but still...) singing God Only Knows and some random woman singing Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Also, major spoiler territory, there\\\'s an inversion of [[spoiler: CreateYourOwnVillain]] where Elizabeth ends up [[spoiler: getting alternate universe versions of herself to drown DeWitt, who would go on to become BigBad Comstock]] in a weird between-worlds tear-induced time loop. I think.
EDIT: Right, I think I\\\'ve got it now. It\\\'s a [[spoiler: StableTimeLoop]] of sorts. Since there are (TitleDrop?) infinite different universes within the tears of Columbia, there\\\'s always going to be a [[spoiler: Comstock (really an old Booker) buying young Booker\\\'s daughter (really, his own daughter... it\\\'s complicated)]] and the protagonist is one that [[spoiler: could go either way - the baptism and Christianity is what influences Comstock (né Booker) for all his \\\'prophecy\\\' delivering and the protagonist Booker is one that can\\\'t remember if he did or didn\\\'t accept the baptism.]] So, since the two options are either world ruination or manic depression, they TakeAThirdOption and [[spoiler: kill Booker at the \\\'birth\\\' of Comstock - the baptism.]] This seems to have worked as Elizabeth [[spoiler: disappears into a newly-created tear]] and a post-credits scene seems to suggest that [[spoiler: the cycle is broken and Booker lives happily with Anna... so is Elizabeth dead?]]
AGodAmI - this is the aim of Comstock, probably. Elizabeth is powerful and it turns out that [[spoiler: Comstock is setting her up to be a GodEmperor over the Sodom below.]] The now famous exchange where Booker is asked if he fears God and he says, \\\"No... but I\\\'m afraid of you.\\\" seems to be justified - in-game, not too long after saying that, Elizabeth [[spoiler: has her massive statue of a PowerLimiter destroyed and from then on can instantly and without effort create, open, extract from and enter tears, as shown when Booker desperately cries out that the Songbird is coming and she just teleports the trio to Rapture from Bioshock, with Songbird on the outside of an airtight, underwater city. FUCKING AWESOME.]] So really, Elizabeth is a god, but not an in-your-face arrogant person. With her reality warping powers and the innumerable universes with \\\'little changes,\\\' her powers are... INFINITE.
Elizabeth is excited by this when the penny drops, but along with this JustThinkOfThePotential is MundaneUtility - when first explaining tears to Booker, Elizabeth gives an example of a smaller change being that sometimes, the towels are different colours. \\\"Yeah, I could go to Paris and watch Return of the Jedi in French in front of the Eiffel Tower, but really, I think I\\\'ll just grab myself a bright blue towel. These white ones are boring me now.\\\"
