Thanos’s snap didn’t send people anywhere — it erased half of all life randomly, and the victims simply turned to dust/ash and disappeared. In Marvel’s story, they were later restored when the snap was undone, not relocated.

What happened

  • The snap wiped out half of living beings across the universe at random.
  • Those affected disintegrated into dust-like ash rather than being transported to another place.
  • Later stories describe the aftermath as “the Blip,” covering the period after the snap and the eventual reversal.

Plain-language version

Think of it as deletion, not teleportation: the people didn’t go to a hidden planet, another dimension, or “heaven” in the canon story. They were gone until the reversal brought them back.

Tiny lore note

A lot of fans jokingly ask where they “went,” but the official on-screen answer is: nowhere. The snap’s effect was erasure, not relocation. TL;DR: Thanos’s snap did not send people anywhere; it erased them, and they later returned when the snap was reversed.
