: [Neither High nor Low (Terminal 1)]
: Durandal, in this terminal seens as if he has worked out the end of the

: the "E"), thus Bungie got away without giving away the end of
: the universe (we all know that they know of couse...). However, what is
: "E".
Ooh, I feel sorry for you. You're going to be soooo embarassed. This is just scientific notation. E+9 just means multiplied by 10 to the +9th power. Another way to look at it is to move the decimal point to the right by 9 places, hence Durandal's figure was really nothing more than 15,193,792,102.158 years. In other words, just a little over 15 billion years. I don't think I'm going to worry too much about the closure.
