Funny coincidence? Probably.....

So I was looking into deciphering the code Cosmic Silverback left in the chat yesterday and came across this site....

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/decoding/

I thought nothing of it at first, but it's a coincidence that's it's a site dedicated to deciphering and encoding secret Nazi ciphers and codes. It's called Nova Online.....and as I read further the first paragraph is...

"Welcome to the companion Web site to "Decoding Nazi Secrets," a two-hour NOVA special that chronicles how the Allies succeeded in cracking the infamous German message-coding machine, the Enigma. The program was originally broadcast on November 9, 1999. Here's what you'll find online:"

November 9th....freaky

Then I explored a bit further and found this...

"Is time travel anything more than sci-fi fantasy? Many leading physicists now believe that time travel is not only possible in theory but are discussing how to build a time machine. Physicist Kip Thorne tells NOVA how humankind's infinitely advanced descendants might go about achieving it with "quantum wormholes" and some "exotic matter." Demonstrating that faster-than-light travel may be possible, German physicist Guenter Nimtz claims to have transmitted Mozart's 40th Symphony across his lab at 4.7 times the speed of light. Impossible, yes, but recorded by NOVA's cameras and perhaps another step on the road to reaching the future or the past. The truth about time travel is wrapped up in the detail of how our universe works and how it all began. Mind-boggling as these perspectives are, NOVA dramatizes them in a playful and visually dazzling style that will captivate viewers and sweep them along on the ultimate thrill ride."

There's loads of coincidental stuff on this website, although most of the broadcasts and updates seem to be able 10 years old. Nevertheless if it is just coincidence, it's quite funny :)

EDIT: Ok, on further inspection it appears to be, or was a science show for PBS :(

I remember watching NOVA specials in science class that my teachers taped directly off PBS. :lol:

But the levels of coincidence in relation to the show are ridiculous. There's definitely no correlation, but that's weird how much matches up randomly.

It's funny how these relative things pop up in mainstream media. Maybe someone on NOVA caught wind of all this COD:BO anticipation & our fixations with deciphering things that he/she decided to post something to catch our attention.
