2 brushes, I feel that the second season is only half of the story, so I decided to read the third season and write again... I will summarize some pits and logical starting points based on the memory of the first two seasons.
Character Relationships
Introduction
Season 1 opens with a quote: "The difference between past, present, and future is only a persistent illusion," Einstein's explanation of space-time in his special theory of relativity. The "now" we understand does not refer to this moment. The "now" of this moment is just a kind of awareness and memory of this time node.
The opening quote of the second season: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares at you." This is Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil". Dragon; stare too long into the abyss, and the abyss will stare back."
Background introduction
Winden Cave
From what is known from the first and second seasons, Winden Cave should be a primitive cave existing in the forest near Winden Town. In 1921, the excavation of the cave was started by the mysterious organization "SIC MVNDVS". After 1954, it is possible to travel through time and space through the iron gate in the cave. In 1986, the adult Jonas attempted to stop the reincarnation by blowing up the cave, only to be opened again by the teenager Jonas in 1987. Mikkel in 2019 shuttled through the cave to 1986. On the day of the nuclear explosion in 2020, Katarina opened the door in the cave and did not know where to go.
The cave has a "serpent ring" signpost symbolizing reincarnation, as well as a map with details of the cave. At present, there are two maps in total. One is in the hands of the young Jonas. He found the map from the cracks in the ceiling of his father's studio and was marked by the adult Jonas. The other was carried by adult Jonas and snatched by Katarina on the day of the nuclear explosion.
Time Machine
In the first season, a total of two time machines appeared. One, the old Claudia brought the drawings to the young Tannhaus and asked him to help build a time machine according to the drawings. The other one, the adult Jonas found the old Tannhouse and asked him to repair the time machine that had been damaged. Tannhouse took out the time machine that he was asked to make when he was young.
In the second season, a total of three time machines appeared. One, the old Claudia buried the time machine in 1954, and told the middle-aged Claudia in 1987 where it was buried. On the second, Hannah travels back to 1954 with an adult Jonas' time machine. On the third station, on the day of the nuclear explosion in 2020, adult Jonas took Bartos, Francesca, Magnus, and used the time machine Noah gave Bartos to travel through time and space.
leather notepad
Noah and elderly Claudia each have a notepad. Noah's notepad was missing the last pages, and the elderly Claudia left the notepad with Peter, tore off the last pages and carried them with her. After killing the elderly Claudia, Noah obtains the last few pages of her notepad and instructs Adam that he has been cheating on him.
Underground warehouse in the forest
From 1986 to 1987, the underground warehouse was used as a laboratory by Noah and adult Hagrid, and kidnapped children would be kept in this warehouse for experiments. In 2019-2020, the warehouse was used by Peter and Charlotte as a stronghold for collecting time traveler evidence, and in the middle of a nuclear explosion as a place to avoid, and in 2052-2053, it was used by the elderly Claudia and the young Jonas respectively. The underground warehouse should have been built before 1953.
The underground warehouse is located near the nuclear power plant and the cave. When the teenager Jonas and the teenager Hagrid were kidnapped and detained, the explosion caused by the adult Jonas generated a wormhole that randomly traveled through time and space. That is, the young Hagrid traveled from 1953 to 1986, and finally returned to 1954 through Noah's experiment, while the young Jonas traveled from 1986 to 2052.

The headquarters of the mysterious organization is in the underground of the church. If it is said that time = God, is this a kind of irony?
windon nuclear power plant
The history of the Whedon Nuclear Power Plant was mentioned in the S1E01 newscast. Plans for the construction of the nuclear power plant were drawn up in 1953, but were not approved for construction until 1960. Although the Winden nuclear power plant has the longest trouble-free operation time in Germany, the Winden nuclear power plant will also be fully offline in 2020 in the process of abolishing nuclear energy.
In the next few episodes, we learned that the nuclear power plant was hindered at the beginning of its establishment. Baird, the first director of the plant, even thought that the two boys' bodies that appeared on the site of the nuclear power plant were some kind of force that deliberately hindered the nuclear power plant. Construction of the factory.
By 1986, a radio broadcast of Mads' disappearance was followed by an accident at a chemical plant in Switzerland that resulted in the discovery of toxic chemicals in the Rhine River. After taking over as director of the nuclear power plant, the middle-aged Claudia also repeatedly asked Baird, the founder, about the accident at the nuclear power plant in 1986. Baird eventually told her that the Higgs boson was detected in the accident. , Claudia wanted to make the discovery public but was stopped by Baird because it was related to the operation of the nuclear power plant. The middle-aged Claudia sealed the toxic nuclear waste in Whedon Cave in 1986, and Alexander helped her complete the storage.
In 2019, Alexander, who took over as the director of Claudia, finally decided to seal the nuclear waste underground with concrete before the nuclear power plant went offline, and was finally dug out by the investigating policeman Clausen, which caused the incident. nuclear explosion.
missing person
In the story line of 2019, a total of 6 people have disappeared so far. Except that Erik's disappearance and the four families have not clearly stated their relationship, the rest of the missing and killed are all connected, while the other missing people have crossed paths. to other time and space. It can be said that the development of the entire "Dark" story is driven by these "missing" people.
corpse
The bodies of Mads found in the forest in 2019 and Yassin and Erik found at the construction site in 1953 share the same characteristics, with burnt eyes and damage to inner ear drums, injuries that forensics said occurred during a high-speed fall or into the centrifuge chamber. Even inner ear injuries were found on the carcasses of 33 sheep found in 1986 and on the carcass of a fallen bird in 2019.
NO Further no future
This slogan appeared several times in the first season's 1986 line scene, and No Further, Widen on the wall in the bedroom of Ulrich and Mads at Nielsen's house. This coincides with the introduction of the first season: "The difference between the past, the present, and the future is only a persistent illusion."

Jade Record & Hermes
Jade Record, Emerald Table. It is a treasured holy book of medieval alchemists. Legend has it that Alexander found a greenstone tablet with writing from the tomb of the pharaoh, which recorded the incantation of the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld, Thoth. Later, when this greenstone slab was lost, someone painted the picture based on the contents handed down. The handed down Cuiyulu was originally written in Latin, and after hundreds of years, the most famous and widely circulated version is Newton's translation. It is said that capable alchemists can refine the "Stone of Immortality" by comprehending the proverbs on Jade Records, and obtain immortality through it.
Hermes, a god in Greek mythology, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. Hermes is the messenger of the gods and the patron saint of travelers. In the process of religious fusion, Hermes and the ancient Egyptian god Thoth were mixed into one. The image description of Moss is changeable and cunning, and his wand can make people indulge in dreams and wake up. In the Middle Ages, the philosophical ideas developed by Hermetic Theosophy merged with alchemy, and Western alchemists hoped to seek eternal and extraordinary wealth of life through the understanding and transformation of matter. At the same time, in myths and legends, Hermes and Thoth invented numbers and hieroglyphs respectively.
Minotaur & Celestial Map
The Minotaur is a legendary minotaur in Greek mythology. He is a half-bull, half-human monster born by the queen of Crete and a cow sent by Poseidon. The scandal drew the Minotaur's attention to a labyrinth on the island, where every year Athens, seeking peace with Crete, sent virgins to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. In order to prove that the illegitimate son of the king of Athens joined the sacrifice team, he finally killed the Minotaur with the silk thread and dagger given to him by Ariadne, the princess of Crete, and successfully relieved the crisis in Athens and took him away. and princess.
In addition to Jade Records, the image and story of the Minotaur has also been repeated throughout the play, including adult Jonas' paintings of labyrinths on the hotel wall, and the publisher of the book "Time Travel" named Mi Nottaulos. In the first season, Martha said in a school play: "We are looking for the thread of Ariadne, it can guide us in the right way and it can lead us out of the dark. How much we want to know ourselves see where it takes us, but in fact there is only one road leading to all time and space, and the beginning and the end are pre-determined."

Two astronomical maps by the 17th-century cartographer Andreas Cellarius also run through the first and second seasons.
The following is the original picture of the Copernicus World System
It can be seen that the "Copernicus World System" in the play "Darkness" has been changed, adding a man and a woman with hair on the left and the right.
