| − | At a tribunal, Hari reveals that through [[psychohistory]], he predicts the Empire will fall within five hundred years and enter a period of barbarism that will endure for thirty thousand years. However, Seldon proposes the creation of a [[Foundation]] to create an [[Encyclopedia Galactica]] to safeguard science, civilisation, and the story of the human race. With these in place, Seldon hopes to soften the blow and reduce the dark ages to merely a thousand years. Gaal is asked to debunk Hari’s predictions but she cannot and confirms his theory. |

Instead of killing them, Day exiles them to Terminus to establish their Foundation. Hari sees Day's intent; if the predictions are wrong, then the Foundation will be forgotten at the edge of the galaxy. If they are right, then the Empire will be able to take credit for assisting the Foundation. |
