The first Global Blackout (GBO) took place on October 6, 2009 at 11:00 AM, Pacific Daylight Time. Nearly everyone in the world lost consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds - 137 seconds - during which most saw a vision - or "flashforward" - of their lives six months into the future: April 29, 2010, at 10:00 PM, Pacific Daylight Time.
Some, however, merely lost consciousness, experiencing no visions.
Flash Forward is a literary or cinematic narrative device in which the chronological sequence of events is interrupted by the interjection of a future event.Not to be confused with Seers - characters who can view the future (or a possible future) inside the context of the story.
Opposite of a Flash Back and different from a Distant Finale and not quite Time Travel or a Dream Sequence. The Flash Forward is a look ahead at what may be a possibility in the characters' futures. When it occurs once at the very start of a work, it's "In Medias Res".
CERN scientists
break the speed of light
Scientists at CERN in Geneva say they have discovered sub-atomic particles called neutrinos that move even faster than the universally accepted rate of 300,000 kilometres a second.
Experts say the discovery is a game-changer - and is more significant than the discovery of radioactivity.
If proven, it will blow Einstein's 1905 theory of relativity - a fundamental pillar of physics - out of the water.
