Phil Bergman quotes from Knowing (2009)

I found evidence of a series of super-flares from a star in the outer-Pleiades's region.

Phil Bergman

Right. Ratings were off the chart.

We were both wrong. The numbers are a warning, but not just to me or any random group. They're a warning to everyone.

Phil Bergman

Okay. You're officially scaring the shit out of me right now.

The super-flare, in our own solar system. A 100 microtesla wave of radiation that would destroy our ozone layer, killing every living organism on the planet.

Phil Bergman

We have to let everyone know. We have to call the NOAA.

They already know. The announcement will come anytime now. I thought there was some purpose to all this. Why did I get this prediction if there's nothing I can do about it? How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?

I'm not saying that 81 people are going to die tomorrow, okay? I'm just trying to understand why THIS is SAYING they will!

Phil Bergman

Okay, it's spooky, all right? I'll grant you. It's more than spooky. But just step back, all right? You have all these uncircled numbers with no sequence to them. I mean, numerology, kabbalah, pythagorean cults, there are systems that find meaning in numbers, and they are a dime a dozen. Why? Because people see what they want to see in them.

Phil Bergman

Right now my scientific mind is telling me to have nothing more to do with this. And yours should, too.
