I believe there is also a line in the final song - Only Want You Gone(?) - which says "You look so much like her." This could possibly be a hint that Chell is Caroline's daughter. We'll probably never know for sure though.
Chell Is GLaDOS's and Cave's daughter?

She might be implying that Chell looks like Caroline. But because she is a robot, she might think that all humans look the same. Typical speciest GlaDOS.

Yeah, that makes more sense than Chell being related to Caroline.

Cave and Caroline may not be married, but I think they probably had a love-child.
She's is his personal secretary. And you know that personal secretaries do more than just shuffling papers for their bosses.

Yeah, everyone knows Valve doesn't make games with 3s in them
I thought it was because VALVe didn't know how to count to 3

Well reading this let me think about rat-man... If it was 50.000 years ago, why do we see him in portal 2? (In the end, man running, that's rat-man right?). So it would not make any sence that it was 500, or 50.000 years in the future. I think its 20-50 years like Nacimota said.

Actually, there's nothing to confirm the 'figure' seen in the credits is the rat-man, and the general consensus is that there's nothing even there, or maybe a Frankencube. That said, I don't necessarily agree with the 50,000 years thing.
There's one notion that I've been entertaining, though I don't agree with it, as its unrealistic, baseless speculation, but maybe AS was actually rediscovered after Portal, and repaired? That would explain away the retcons in Portal 2, and account for this ridiculous time war we have going on (sorry, had to make the pun. I'm British, after all). The only unexplained thing is how GLaDOs remained destroyed, unless they simply never found her, but that's unlikely. Anyway, as I said, it's baseless speculation, and I don't even agree with it; just a fun little musing.

It's a Frankencube walking around. I can provide detailed and outlined screenshots for anyone who thinks otherwise.
And yeah, as has (I think? Somewhere?) been stated before, the 50,000 years thing may be an overstatement, the point is Portal 2 takes place in the future. Far in the future.

If one of the unused GLaDOS dialog files was used, it would be 50,000 years. But it wasn't used, so who knows?

Its not like they just picked a number, it was valve's idea for 50,000, but aperture would have decomposed and reclaimed by the earth in 50,000 years. Especially in northern michigan.

Not sure if northern Michigan is right, but I think Aperture Science is located in an abandoned salt mine that I believe is under the border of Ohio and Michigan. Cave purchased it in the very early 50s and converted it for use with enrichment spheres.

Oh, the Aperture Building's location. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw a newspaper in-game that mentions a salt mine being bought in Ohio. I think it was in an Old Aperture waiting room.

Everyone's argument has now been rendered completely invalid.

Well that explains a lot. I thought that the facility must have simply sunk into the ground after however long it's been there, and all the new testing environments were built by on top of it by robots or something.
