Brainstorm (1983 film)

In many ways, Brainstorm was far ahead of its time. Had there been a bigger budget and no tragic death of one of the main stars of the movie, Brainstorm might have been as popular as Tron.

Bryan Smith, 21 September 2000

Bryan Edwin Smith (1957-2000) was the driver of a van that hit Stephen King on 19 June 1999.

https://stephenking.fandom.com/wiki/Bryan_Smith 1999-6-19

Bryan Smith crashed into Stephen_King on 1999-6-19, which could have been the day of death for Stephen King. Instead, Bryan Edwin Smith died on Stephen Edwin King's birthday in the year 2000. 

Bryan Smith was resident of Maine who hit Stephen King with his van on June 19, 1999. Coincidentally, he shared his middle name (Edwin) with Stephen King.

Stephen King and Precognitive Phenomena

Writer Stephen_King has created quite a vast body of work through the decades. The_Dead_Zone could be considered as a glimpse into the Akashic_Records, or something like the simulation hypothesis, or the cosmic hologram theory.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-our-universe-a-hologram-physicists-debate-famous-idea-on-its-25th-anniversary1/

"Akashic record, in occultism, a compendium of pictorial records, or “memories,” of all events, actions, thoughts, and feelings that have occurred since the beginning of time. They are said to be imprinted on Akasha, the astral light, which is described by spiritualists as a fluid ether existing beyond the range of human senses. The Akashic records are reputedly accessible to certain select individuals—e.g., a spiritualist medium who conducts a séance. Akasha allegedly transmits the waves of human willpower, thought, feeling, and imagination and is a reservoir of occult power, an ocean of unconsciousness to which all are linked, making prophecy and clairvoyance possible." https://www.britannica.com/topic/Akashic-record

The Quantum Hologram Theory of Consciousness as a Framework for Altered States of Consciousness Research https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/id/eprint/991336 , https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/id/eprint/991336/1/20220326042406pmNQ22059.pdf

Of course Precognition hasn't just been covered by Stephen-King. It can be found in various religions, legends and myths. Precognition is a significant component in several science fiction stories as well. 

Minority_Report_(2002_film) and Next_(2007_film) have precognition as their core theme.

The Superman character has a peculiar intersection with 9-11.

Tyler_Hoechlin as Clark_Kent, the star of Superman_and_Lois was born in 1987 on 9-11.

Carl Jung's Synchronicity: meaningful patterns...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5T1yH04oJs

If not just time, but if Spacetime is part of an interactive recording and projection of cosmic data, then some accurate predictions might be indicative of the Simulation_Hypothesis.  

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/4/10/18275618/simulation-hypothesis-matrix-rizwan-virk

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Superman_II.jpg , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081573/mediaviewer/rm485495808/

The poster and video cover for Superman_II shows the old WTC, which is shaped a little like a Roman Numeral 2. The old WTC was a 7 building complex.

Approximately 7 years after the release of Superman_II in 1980, Tyler_Hoechlin was born, who would end up playing Superman on TV.

There is a lot of interesting synchronicity surrounding the Superman character.

The concept of synchronicity has a greater meaning if this world is likened to being part of a cosmic simulation or a creation. Even as a thought experiment, one can see a peculiar pattern. However, is it just part of ones imagination?
