For example Dark Matter, which was only very recently confirmed by scientists:
"The Dark Islands of Space. These are the dead suns and other large aggregations of matter devoid of light and heat. The dark islands are sometimes enormous in mass and exert a powerful influence in universe equilibrium and energy manipulation. The density of some of these large masses is well-nigh unbelievable. And this great concentration of mass enables these dark islands to function as powerful balance wheels, holding large neighboring systems in effective leash. They hold the gravity balance of power in many constellations; many physical systems which would otherwise speedily dive to destruction in near-by suns are held securely in the gravity grasp of these guardian dark islands. It is because of this function that we can locate them accurately. We have measured the gravity pull of the luminous bodies, and we can therefore calculate the exact size and location of the dark islands of space which so effectively function to hold a given system steady in its course.

Can i just propose an idea?
In kabbalah its understood that every year brings down a particular spiritual force. In 200 CE Shimon Bar Yochai wrote the holy Zohar. The Zohar predicts 1600 years into future when it said "in the year 600 after the revelation of the Zohar (which occured in 1211) there will be a flood of lower wisdom into the world". The 'higher wisdom' is mystical knowledge, whereas lower wisdom is physical knowledge. The industrial revolution occurred around the 1800, as predicated 1600 years earlier by the Zohar.
Going that far into the future and getting knowledge about it can only come from the creator. It bypasses so many ages and periods and to get an accurate account of that time is truly divine. However, through 'magick' and manipulation of occult forces, what is destined to arrive imminently, within a 70 year period (a generation in kabbalah is 70 years) as soon as you enter that 'flux' something that exists in potential 70 years down the road can be recieved before that revelation actually occurs. This is done through a type of channeling. If someone were to spend a great deal of time in investigation of these matters, he could compile a great deal of accurate information about the future up to 70 years.
However, what Shimon Bar yochai recieved was divine revelation. Whereas what occultists do is they initiate communication between themselves and spiritual powers. This power than becomes obliged to reveal what has trickled down to its level of existence.
This is how certain things written of in the uranita book have been established today. However, it knows nothing about what will be 100 years from now, as that period is far beyond the rule of the spiritual worlds. Only through divine inspiration, from the creator himself, can such knowledge be attained.
And to date, only the Hebrew prophets and Jewish sages have recieved such information, as revealed in the Tanakh.
