   The world blacks out for less than 2 minutes. The blackout last 137 seconds.
   During the flashforward people saw 21 years into the future. They only saw 6 months in the future.
   Simcoe is enganged to Michiko who also works at CERN. He is not engaged, but sees the future where he has a relationship with Benford's wife.
   The flashforward was created because of an experiment at CERN coinciding with a burst of neutrinos from a supernova. It was a coincidence. The flashforward was engineered and had been tested before.
   Lloyd works at CERN. He works at NLAP.
   During the blackout nothing was recorded by any cameras. Recordings were made and the FBI uses them to find Suspect Zero.
