Hollywood did that in the late 80s when Turner And Hooch was released months before K9 with the two studios having no knowledge the other was making a similar film previously.

I don't think movies are set out to inform us of a future event, it's just the creation of a single person with an idea and Hollywood and other places where movies are made choose which to finance based on what they think will do well in sales to the general public.

No conspiracies.

Well, I did look up the year of the asteroid scenario...1998. and in 1994 we had the closest asteroid known without hitting us and it came within 65,000 miles of us. So my thought process goes as follows. NASA think tank...DoD sitting in... NSA National Defense...whomever...the question obviously is asked...why didn't we see this...and what are we gonna do next time. So the "THINK TANK" begins figuring out solutions. The proposed solutions being,,..1) land on it and blow it up 2) detonate beside it 3) use a solar parachute or 4) nothing.

They figure out that right now...in the immediate time frame that using a nuclear bomb to hopefully move it's course is the quickest and most efficient way, why...because we don't even know if we can land on an asteroid....

Government says...okay....hollywood...need some movies talking about what a big disaster asteroids hitting the earth will be....that they've caused extinction before....etc etc... discuss this all in the movies and use these solutions to make us survive....bam...2 movies out with 2 winning scenarios....both mind you were confirmed after the movies as being the governments plan.

fast forward now....we have landed a probe on an asteroid. maybe things have changed now that we know more about them....i don't know. i do know that we've studied them up close and personal now....

go even further...use the movie "knowing"....NASA THINK TANK says...a few years back...hey...every 11 years the sun flips it's poles and major solar flare activity takes place. sometimes it affects us...sometimes it don't...depending on the direction of the flares....etc.... Government says ...well what's the possible damage....answer...bad x9 or whatever classification flares get can knock out communications...power..could be a huge EMP knocking everything out. We haven't experienced anything worse than in 1908 (i think) when solar flares burned down telegraph wires and communications. But that doesn't mean they can't be worse....

Government says...okay. put out worst case scenario movie....governments survive ...rest of population done and burned up. I don't know...maybe a stretch on that one cause aliens came down and took people away to start civilization elsewhere....but sh*t....maybe that's what's going on.....

But I think that maybe they look at history...or "near misses" or even future possibilities based on scientific evidence...develop their safety plan and put out a movie showing worst case scenarios and the ways we could possibly win or survive. so I think the chicken and egg scenario continues and applies indirectly to our thought process.....the movie all depends on the situation and what the government is willing to allow out there.

this past year for instance there had to be at least 6 or 8 alien movies. why? doesn't make sense from the stand point of being a movie producer.

so you believe tetrahedral physics is the key to travel, time bending or manipulating....where are you going with it??? I mean if you think about it...if you are thinking it in terms of time travel or worm holes...movies have been made about these things as well.... but if the news broke tomorrow and they said...hey...we've figured out how to spin magnets, create vortices by rapidly switching magnetic fields creating 4D...what would you say? wow...that's cool. guess we've seen it before. it wouldn't be too much of a shocker.

just the other day i read an interesting article in the paper and they had a brief 1 minute blip on the news about folks that have learned to bend light thus allowing an event to disappear. the example they used was someone stealing a painting in a museum and you're looking at one moment at the picture and the next moment the picture is gone...what they've figured out is they have an event happen and it is never seen...i.e. the man walks in to the museum and walks out with the painting and was never seen....

obviously they were far away from this scenario because they only made a pen disappear for like 1/3000th of a second i believe....but theoretically speaking that's what they have started a process towards.

my point being...i wasn't overly surprised or shocked...i've heard about stuff like this from tv and books for years....fiction of course. that's why i think all this fiction entertainment serves a couple purposes....and our government knows and is behind it all...
