THE MYSTERY OF JULIO VERNE Verne predicted something similar to the internet in an unpublished work until the end of the twentieth century (“Paris in the twentienth century”). And it wasn't published at the time because of its catastrophic conception of life and society, curiously, very similar to today. Verne also imagined television and helicopter, as well as the rise to power of National Socialism in the figure of Hitler. The first submarine was another one of his fantasies come true. The wonderful Nautilus of "20,000 languages of underwater travel" not only dazzled readers by its originality, but also by the self-sufficiency of the device that allowed them to live in the sea without touching solid land. However, it is his works “From Earth to Moon” and “Around the Moon” that have cemented Verne’s prophetic fame. In them the writer provides precise details that, later, left the experts speechless when the man first set foot on the moon. In those novels Verne chose the United States as a financier country for the project and the state of Florida for the launch; a place very close to Cape Canaveral. And even more: in the novel, the landing also occurs in the sea, just four miles from the place where Apollo 11 was docked. Both the capsule's speed and its dimensions are very close to the realities of that Apollo 11 crew, also by three astronauts... This all proves Verne was a science well. Although there is also a belief that he formed part of a millennial secret society (the Masonry) and had access to data that very few men knew. His fascination towards cryptography was embedded in many of his works and there are those who find a hidden and esoteric world even in the names of his characters. Mystery Credits of the World.
