The Secret of Secrets is the latest novel by Dan Brown! Yes! He has released the latest novel!
Robert Langdon returns and how! More fit and more athletic than ever! The last two novels were not made into movies though this one definitely has the premise!
Now without giving any spoilers on the story line the introduction tells about
precognition!
Coming from anyone else the term would have been ridiculed! If Ashwin Sanghi had said it then those with Oxford dictionary in their study would have just made a condescending laugh right about now!
But since it is Dan; well, a secret smile would do!
Two stories told within this tagline was so interesting! The stories are well know to the educated world so no spoilers there but they were shocking to me!
Now precognition is the purported psychic phenomenon of knowing or perceiving future events before they happen. There is no accepted scientific evidence that precognition is real, and the scientific community widely considers it to be pseudoscience!
In simple terms though it essentially means that you can sense the future!
The first story is about the most famous president of US (not current and the tagline here is famous and not infamous!)
Three days before the assassination, Abraham Lincoln had a vivid dream where he wandered into the East Room of the White House, finding his own body on a catafalque with soldiers standing guard!
Apparently the guard told him; “The president was assassinated!”
The dream was remarkably accurate, foretelling the scene of mourning that would follow his death in that very room at Ford’s Theatre!
We all know what happened three days later!
Another more remarkable story was a novel!
In this novel by Morgan Robertson called Futility, the author tells about an ocean liner or a huge ship!
Morgan describes a ship which called the TITAN! It was the largest and most luxurious ships ever built! The ship unfortunately sank after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean! The vessel lacked enough lifeboats for everyone on board and many died because of this! The final part; the sinking occurred in April!
We of course remember very well about a similar accident happening to an unsinkable ship which sank due to an iceberg collision in April! Some may remember only Leo and the King of the world meme! Everyone would recognize the name though!
Yes! A name very similar to Titan! The Titanic!
If that did not make you spin, let me mention one more fact! The titanic sank on 1912! The novel futility which was also named the WRECK OF THE TITAN, was written in 1898!
I preconize that precognition is scary!
Working on some precognition and some fear also was the movie Apthamitra starring Ramesh Aravind though the original Manichithrathazhu is the real deal!
Now I predict you will sleep in the night!
SHubh ratri!
