still have so many questions abt the ending!
so I read this great post explaining the ending and everything on there makes sense to me but I still have some questions.
(https://www.reddit.com/r/PantheonShow/comments/1h10nr6/pantheon_ending_explanation_and_writeup/)
heres a summary of the relevant points made in the post that.
- its shown that maddie is recursive (since the last episode looped into the first and the cycle continues of simulations inside simulations inside simulations).
- but in the last episode maddie mentions that there is still a limit to the dyson spheres computing power (in the last episode maddie says that there arent infinite number of simulations, there are 34 billion exactly) (not 100% confident on the number itself)
Question 1.
arent the two points contradictory? as the maddie in each simulation goes on to create another 34 billion simulations, wouldnt the original or base dyson sphere run out of computing power? does each level of simulation going down have less details? or is it that the simulation chosen for maddie and caspian to go back and live through, now replaces the base simulation?
Question 2.
how is maddie creating the dyson sphere help her have her future with caspian? as I underestood it, the simulation that maddie chose for them to live through again will go through the same moments as the original shows did and therefore leads to her son and caspian dying again and her having to invent the dyson sphere again. so shes stuck in a loop of misery? I underestand that safesurf gave her that message just for maddie to "bring back" caspian so they can thank them but at this point maddie would realize that and chose to live out another simulation where they can have their future as simulated humans instead of looping back through the shows events?
question 3.
did anyone else have a panick attack when caspian was gonna upload?
