In Response To: closure of the universe (Agent Shem)

: They seem to talk about the closure of the universe a lot in the Marathon
: trilogy. But when does it happen? And what happens? The final screen in
: Infinity seems to indicate that Durandal wanted to survive it, but
: couldn't. But somehow, the "player" does. What does that mean?

: sam

Ok, most scientists agree that hte univese is expanding outward from the Big Bang. But some (most) think that after awhile, the momentum will die down, and gravity will reverse the expansion, causeing everything to move inward, until finally ALL matter is once again a single point. This is the closure of the universe, the destruction of everything. Durandal sought to either escape the known universe, or to prevent the closure.

SPOILER
----
If i remember right, he wanted to use Jjaro technology to actually teleport entire planets away, removing enough mass from the universe so that it would not collapse in on itself
