John Koestler: "The numbers are the key to everything."
A fifty-year old time capsule unearthed at an American school contains a mysterious series of numbers which appear to have predicted every major global catastrophe in the last five decades – and three more yet to come.
Nutty sci-fi thrills abound in this semi-serious spin on the Final Destination movies with Nic Cage as hangdog mathematician John Koestler, who's got to somehow figure it all out.
After realising that the cataclysm will come in the form of a coronal mass ejection (CME), Koestler states that the effects would be on the order of 100 microtesla. Geo-magnetic storms are measured by magnetic disruptions at the Earth's equator, expressed in nanotesla. A strong storm would be 100 to 200 nanotesla. Therefore, a 100 microtesla event would be 1,000 times stronger than this and certainly cause the disruptions to electronic devices as portrayed in the film.
Happy now?
