The Tangent Universe collapses
28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds after Frank’s warning. The Artifact has been returned; the Tangent Universe and everything in it is erased.
In Sparrow's terms
- 28 Days, 6 Hours, 42 Minutes, 12 Seconds
- Frank's countdown: the exact lifespan of the Tangent Universe, announced to Donnie on the night of October 2 and ending in the early hours of October 30, 1988.
- Tangent Universe
- An unstable copy of reality that branches off the Primary Universe when the Fourth Dimension is corrupted. It survives for a few weeks and then collapses into a black hole unless the Artifact is returned.
- Oblivion
- The fate of everyone in the Tangent Universe if it collapses: erasure along with the universe itself.
What happens at this moment.
