: I know this is a point addressed all too often, but what actually happens to
: the player at the end of Infinity? We are told that the universe closes:
: “Now in the quantum moment before the cløsure, when all
: become one. One moment left.” ”

: However, Durandal’s estimate for the closure of the universe is the year
: 1.52E10. It has somehow been hyper-accelerated Curious? That’s just the
: first mystery. Presumably, we escape, and in doing so “become like god***
: "Escape will make you God" Escape to where? Another Universe?
: And how do you escape?

: ***I assume this based on Randy Reddig’s comments about the end of Infinity,
: (available in the YOU section of Fact’s and Puzzling things about...) an
: exert from his comments is as follows (the subject “you” denotes the
: player: “we thought that my making you a god it would be sufficiently
: "ended." ;-)”

When I saw the ending, I thought that the player was somewhere... far away from Earth, Tau Ceti, and the Phfor, and we were watching the last few moments before the universe's closure with Durandal/Thoth.

That's odd, though... this means that Durandal never did, ultimately, escape the closure of the universe. Likely, he had the power to do such, but he decided against it. A side affect of merging with Thoth, maybe?

I don't think that Durandal's calculations were incorrect, it was just that much time had passed between when we were given our godhood and the ending of Infinity.
