The difference between the novel and the drama series is:
A. The initiator is different. In the
novel: What caused the global loss of consciousness is the Higgs boson experiment conducted by a Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The strange thing here is that the author was written in 1999, and the book says that "flash forward" occurred in 2009, and it happened between 2008 and 2009 that the CERN collider may hit a black hole and cause humans. The destruction caused a great controversy, and the author had pinpointed the point in time.
Episode: Judging from the 8 episodes released so far, it seems to be triggered by activities carried out by a mysterious tower-shaped building in Kenya. Of course, the foreshadowing in the play still shows that it was caused by experiments done by scientists.
B. The phenomenon within 2 minutes and 17 seconds is different in the
novel: at least the Wikipedia abstract is written like this, "In 2 minutes and 17 seconds, no video recording machine in any part of the world was operating normally. Surveillance cameras are all snowflakes. Organizations stop signal output until the "flash" ends. This is explained by the author as the observer effect in quantum theory. When all human beings, that is, observers, lose consciousness, the real world becomes An uncertain "chaotic" state. When the observers' consciousness is restored, reality continues to move toward its most probable orbit. This also explains why the unmanned car at that time can still be the same as it was 2 minutes ago. Drive in the direction.” You can think of this effect as being similar to the time stop superpowers in "Heroes".
Episode: In 2 minutes and 17 seconds, surveillance videos from all over the world were normal and could be retrieved by the FBI, so that it was soon discovered that in a certain stadium, when everyone was in a coma, a man was walking around casually . The different scenes of the drama show that there is no observer effect at all. In 2 minutes and 17 seconds, only humans (which may include animals) lose consciousness, and other objects continue to maintain their original state of motion. In one scene, the bus continued to move forward and fell into the lake. The survivors woke up in the water.
C. Flash time
In the novel: 21 years later, that is, 2030.
Episode: I saw it on April 29, 2010.
D.
Everyone knows the difference between the protagonist .
In the novel: The protagonist is an experiment scientist, Lloyd Simcoe, a 47-year-old Canadian particle physicist.
Episode: The protagonist is an FBI agent who mobilizes a lot of power to track down why it happened in 2 minutes and 17 seconds.
E, Why?
In the novel: The reason for the "flash" is neutrino rays. That is, when the ion collider was operating at high speed, the remains of the SN1978A supernova happened to emit a neutrino ray, which hit the collider. When 21 years later, people knew that the second neutrino ray was about to arrive (human beings launched a satellite into the orbit of Pluto to monitor the arrival of another neutrino ray. Because neutrinos have their own mass, neutrino The speed of sub-rays is lower than the speed of light; once a neutrino-ray is detected, the satellite will immediately use electromagnetic waves to send back a message to the earth, which is the earth’s preparation in advance to make a "jump"), stop work, and wait for the "quick flash" "When the phenomenon came again, only a few people saw the future.
Episode: In the first season, from the words of some key witnesses, it seems to know that this is a "conspiracy" that has happened several times in history and may be manipulated.
The same point is: the "flash" future is only a possibility, and the future does not necessarily happen. "Flash" can happen multiple times instead of once.
