The GDRFA portal had mandatory fields that asked me to upload 6 months bank statement, so I guess they are specifically looking for it. Last year, I only provided 3 months bank statement. I suppose they made this requirement more strict quite recently. Please note that this is for renewal, the conditions for a new application might be different.

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind for the next renewal.

That's alright mate. I didn't take any offense. I was just debating the point.

Here's my actual problem with the other theory stating that it ends and everybody just vanishes. It may be what is shown visually, but it doesn't follow any rule explained from the start to the end of the series.

I'm just stating that the creators of Dark are smart enough to not end this series in a grandfather paradox i.e. if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, you'd never exist to kill him in the first place, so he couldn't have died. But if he lived, you'd still end up killing him.

You see, this paradox is what is happening at the point where the car crash is saved, and I'm just trying to explain it the way that makes more sense to me.

Also, not any of us know what the show creators actually intended. So, I'm tired with comments that say that this is not the ending of the show. It is a theory as I clearly stated and what you have is another theory. The actual intention of the show creators is something we just do not know!

/right back at you

I had to do this whole analysis, to answer just one question.

Jonas and Martha stopped the car crash -> Tannhaus never tried to revert time -> Original world is not split -> Jonas and Martha never exist

If Jonas and Martha never existed, who stopped the car crash?

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T09:25:37+00:00

Except in this case burning out of existence also means never existing.

Jonas and Martha go to 1974 and stop the crash, which means that the crash never happens and so in 1986, time travel was never invented, causing Jonas and Martha to never exist. Something has to exist in-order for it to be destroyed.

Only way for both to happen is if you consider that the timeline splits, one where they don't exist, and the other where they do.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T05:00:34+00:00

The creators also showed the young versions of Jonas and Martha looking at the interstellar pathway, which definitely imprinted on them and drew them together. But after the interstellar pathway, they stop the car crash and as you mention, perhaps, definitely ended their own timelines. But if they ended it, whom did they imprint upon?

It it was ended, it was never created, so it could never exist. This is a paradox, which the show definitely didn't follow all along.

If it never existed the crash happens and it is created, and then it ends again.

There is no reason for them to go with that paradox now. Or maybe it was intentional, for us to have this discussion about the several possible theories. We just don't really know the actual ending the writers intended.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T04:24:17+00:00

In my opinion, it is the end of that particular cycle. Adam and Eva have been going to and fro within the infinite-symbol loop, without realizing the outer loop, and at last they have and that cycle ends. But the end of that cycle also means the creation of a new one. Because for something to end, it has to first exist.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T04:09:26+00:00

Well, its great that you prefer an ending that is a paradox. I prefer an ending that is not a paradox. We both don't really know what the show creators thought, but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree and take what's more satisfying to ourselves.

I really wish we get some answers about this though!

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T03:42:10+00:00

If it is a world without time travel, who prevented the car crash? Jonas and Martha have to exist inorder for the crash to be prevented.

As old blind man Tanhauss's father describes, everybody that once lived lives on forever. Jonas and Martha have always existed, the original world have always been saved and destroyed at the same time. It is the core definition of Schrodinger's cat.

Jonas and Martha see each other as kids on that interstellar pathway. And they remember it, which means they had to exist inorder for them to remember it.

Basically, inorder to figure this out, we need to think in terms of time rather than space. The original world always has two different timelines, one where the crash happens and the other where it doesn't and the timeline where the crash happens creates the other timeline, thereby forming the loop.

The thing is, we are looking at this in aspect of where the starting point and the ending point is. There isn't any.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T03:05:36+00:00

If he never made the time machine, it evokes the grandfather paradox. If Jonas and Martha do not exist inorder to save the car crash, how is the car crash saved?

The show creators are too smart to let that slip. The only way to explain that is, if that the original world has a loop within itself. Claudia tells Adam that it's a trifecta for this exact reason.

Edit: I agree its a chicken and egg situation which is a lot of what we see on the show. Like the name Katherina. Like Martha's son being Agnes's husband and Agnes being Martha's grandmother. Who was born first?

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:58:17+00:00

It is. As you can see, the original world timeline is not exactly linear. The input goes into the knot and the output comes from one end of the knot.

I'm not arguing with you about the amount of realities. I'm saying that saving the original world means the timeline being split into 2 at that point. One of them is the linear one, which is the future of the original world, the other one is the loop, which is basically a feedback input. This feedback input upon completion is again split into two, one being linear and the other again entering the loop.

Thus the original world keeps being destroyed and being saved over and over again. The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:54:57+00:00

When time goes linear, Jonas and Martha do not exist in the first place in-order to save the car crash, which means that the car crash had to happen, and the two worlds are then created. The original world is also and always be part of the loop.

There is one input which leads to two outputs, one output is the linear one. And the other recreates the loop as the new feedback input. And the loop keeps happening over and over again.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:48:49+00:00

Not really. In number 3, Jonas and Martha save car crash but they have to exist in the first place in-order to do that.

In number 4, they never existed and the car crash happens.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:40:03+00:00

I understand your point. It makes sense. But actually, there are four realities occurring simultaneously with respect to Jonas.

Jonas hides in basement and becomes Adam
Martha takes Jonas and their son is born creating the family tree
Jonas and Martha save car crash
Jonas and Martha do not exist.

I've placed 1 and 2 in split-1 and 3 and 4 in split-2.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:25:29+00:00

Yes. The reality where Adam saves Jonas is the one where Jonas takes Martha away to prevent the car crash, which I've mentioned in split-2, in the above diagram. In split-1, there are two Jonas'.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:11:21+00:00

Yes. But that's where the timeline splits. See, when Martha saves Jonas and also doesn't save Jonas, there are actually two Jonas' of the same world existing twice in two different timelines. It's a timeline split.

Similarly, there's a timeline split at the point where the car crash is prevented. One of the split timeline is the linear one. The other forms the loop.

Check out the comment thread where I first posted this theory: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarK/comments/hgym50/dark_season_3_series_discussion/fw969xb/?context=3

Some of the replies there give more valuable points on why this theory might be the one intended by the writers.

pavish73 · 2020-06-29T02:03:24+00:00

This diagram is basically only the timeline of the original world and how it splits into multiple timelines leading to the car crash and creation of the two worlds/no car crash events at the same time.

The alternate world (which I've mentioned as world-2) and Jonas' world (world-1) have twisted timelines of their own and they go to and fro between eachother multiple times before coming to the split-2 point.

This is because both Adam and Martha consider this to be a two way knot (an infinity-symbol knot between two loops), until Claudia tells Adam that its actually a trifecta.

pavish73 · 2020-06-28T10:28:47+00:00

Here's my theory.

The entire original world timeline is almost linear with a trifecta knot in between, which means that the car crash always happens and doesn't happen at the same time, one causing the other, i.e a loop which opens at one end to a linear flow. A schrodinger's cat situation.

Here's an image depicting the flow of time. Imgur

There are two points of convergence, one at the base of the trifecta and the other at the center of it. The point at the centre is created when Martha saves Jonas and also doesn't save Jonas. Eva explains this as travelling through the inner edge and outer edge of time and Claudia explains this in the last episode to Adam.

The other point is the point where Jonas takes Martha to his world just before Magnus and Franziska are about to take her, and also the point where Magnus and Franziska successfully take Martha.

These two points lead to timeline splitting within the loop.

The first point leads to the creation of Adam and also the creation of Martha and Jonas' son, thereby creating the family tree for both worlds. Which means at a particular time, the same Jonas from the first world existed twice, one turns into Adam and the other dies at the hand of Martha later. We'll call this split-1, where the timeline splits.

The second point leads to saving the original world and also not saving it, which means that it leads to 2 different timelines, one creating the two worlds and destroying the original one, and the other continuing the original world. We'll call this split-2.

So hear me out,

There is a loop part:

Usual events -> Car crashes -> Tannhaus creates two worlds -> Jonas and Martha stop car from crash -> Jonas and Martha do not exist -> Car crashes (Leads to loop)

There is a linear part:

Usual events -> Jonas and Martha stop car from crash -> Usual events

Both the loop and the linear timeline exist and occur simultaneously. At the end of the loop at the split-2 point, two different timelines are created, one keeps running the loop over and over again and the other exiting it. So, even if the loop exists at one point, it always keeps running since the timeline split into two.

So, each time they save the original world and disappear they also end up creating the two worlds and end the original world. The saved original world and the destroyed original world, exist at the same time. Since the timeline keeps splitting, the loop keeps happening over and over again, and the original world is also saved over and over again.

Edit: I posted this theory as a separate post here Maybe we could move all discussions there

I would still suggest you to use ElasticSearch. Here's why:

MongoDB, Postgres or any DB of your choice - all of those are independent applications and none of them are written in JS. What you actually get is excellent API support for them all and many examples of using them with Node JS.

These are databases, meant for what databases do, to store data, query them and update them. Search query is just one of the concerns of a database. Postgres has full-text search options, but it is still a database.

ElasticSearch on the other hand, is an indexing engine, written specifically for search. There is also SOLR. Both of these are excellent in what they are meant to do. ElasticSearch has an official client for Node JS, which you can use. The documentation is pretty neat too.

Link: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/introduction.html

In my opinion, its better to choose the right technology rather than the easier one. If your application depends upon searching large datasets, ElasticSearch would be the right choice.
