Did anyone see the programme after it? Supposedly explaining everything that's going on but in actual fact explained bollock-all.
I'm still stuck on the whole idea of not reacting to it. Nobody in any flashforward showed any knowledge of what was happening, so at the time of the blackout the flash they saw was the future as it would be just before the BO. Since then it's changed so it proves (again) that it can be changed. But this was all obvious from the first moment after the BO so why are they still asking the question!
That 'physicist' bloke on the after show was an idiot as well, did they just get some year6 science teacher to go on there or something!
People seem to get confused with determinism and predeterminism, the latter being a devine creation whereby fate has already decided the future, the former being the idea that nothing is truely random and therefore the future is 100% predictable to the final moment of being - Quantum physics is the fly in that ointment, but I'm sure that's just because we don't have the knowledge/data to predict quantum stuff.
