Add maybe 50 years of nearly hush-hush research the way it's going, and... The Matrix!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11150266 Considering what I know about my mom's work... you have noooo idea.
Imagine, if you will... creating a terrible vision so real that masses died of heart attacks... such as an alien invasion, or the Rapture... or 9/11.
Add to it the ability to FEEL IT COMING, and well... yeah.
There was a song I saw on um... Toys... let me find it. It perfectly describes how I feel right now...

Memories of things that never happened
these are always the hardest to forget
all the old friends and the loved ones
these are the people you haven't even met
looking forward into the old days
looking back at what there will be
there's no reality it's just an illusion
there's no real sanity just plain confusion
