Hidden meaning in "Forward the Foundation"

Hi...just found this discussion group !

I have recently finished " Forward the Foundation" after having started on
the whole series 2 months ago.

What I want to know is :::

1 Where exactly is Stars End, Section 33A2D17 ? What did Wanda see when
she touched her grandfather's mind ?

2 At the very end, in the Epilogue, Hari appears to see Dors again. Is
this some kind of quasi-religious allegory ? Did Asimov mean the Christian
heaven ? Was it some kind of last judgement ?

Those of you out there that are more learned about Asimov than myself may
find these questions silly or even too obvious. But I am serious in wanting
to know.

Looking forward to getting an early reply !

You will find out this if you continue reading the Foundation-series.

I personally belive that it only was an expression from the dying man
of shouting the name of the woman he loved, not any point of eventual
afterlifes or judgements.
