The Simpsons have already passed their thirties and have surpassed all kinds of records, from the longevity on the air to being the television series with the highest number of guest stars. Even so, obtuse, we still ignore its true power. To entertain us at lunchtime ?, no !, the prediction of future events subtly introduced by an entertaining and burlesque plot.
We are going to recount the most successful revelations and predictions of this saga of yellowish individuals that have made us pass so well.
Report a buffet of "everything you can eat"
In the 1992 chapter The new girl in the neighborhood we can see, in the secondary plot, how Homer literally takes the publicity of a free buffet: "Everything you can eat", and there it goes, but our hero is expelled from his place before it could be filled which led him, lawfully, to denounce the restaurant.
20 years later, in Wisconsin , a man named Bill Wisth called the authorities and organized a protest when a restaurant of a similar court refused to continue serving him. The guy brings Homer an air, if not all Americans bring it to him.
Donald Trump president
In episode 17 of season 11, aired in 2000 , Bart, like his sister before, knows what his adult life will be like through esoteric arts. In this life he is something less than a finished rocker without talent, while Lisa, his seasoned sister, is president of the United States. Although he will live a somewhat difficult presidency, since he inherited a huge budgetary problem from his predecessor in office, yes, Donald Trump .
Dan Greaney , scriptwriter of the series, said that in his day he did not write it as a joke but rather as a warning, since the writer considered that the United States was becoming a country of majaretas. And so it was, Dan, so it was.
Siegfried & Roy's Tiger Attack
In season 5, in the $ pringfield episode or how I learned to love the legalized game we can see Mr. Burns opening a casino in the city and hiring for him the Siegfried & Roy transcript, the Las Vegas artists famous for including tigers White in their shows.
In the chapter, the white tiger is forced to perform a circus number that is disregarded to attack its two owners. Well, this happened in real life 10 years after the series announced it. If you're wondering: yes, they survived.
The Higgs Boson
In season 10, in the chapter The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace , Homer decides to follow in the footsteps of Thomas Edison and become an inventor. At one point in the chapter, on the board where Homer works, you can see an equation that shows something similar to the mass of what we now call the Higgs boson.
"If we develop Homer's formula, a mass of the Higgs boson is obtained a little higher than it really has ... but if you look at these numbers and continue with the equation, the result predicts a mass of 775 giga-electron- volts (GeV), which is not unreasonably higher than the 125 GeVs that arose when the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 ... Homer was not on track to be an amateur inventor and develop it 14 years before, "said physicist Simon Lehna Singh to the Daily Mail .
Although the professor in Applied Physics Antonio Ruiz de Elvira denied it, claiming that in physics it is necessary to calculate with exactitude: "It does not help us that a combination of numbers gives us 'approximately' another. If you have 11327 in the Christmas lottery and Touch 11275, the number looks a lot, but they don't give you a euro. "
Nobel Prize winner in economics
In the chapter of season 22 The Krusty Elementary Musical is tricked into thinking that he has won the Nobel Peace Prize and then be arrested in Stockholm by the authorities. Meanwhile Milhouse, Lisa and Martín make a joint with the winners of the prize. One of them chooses Bengt Holmström to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Six years later Holmström and his partner Oliver Hart were awarded the award for "their contributions to contract theory."
Lemon Theft
In Chapter 24 of Season 6, The Lemon Tree Trojan can see how Springfield children get into a fight with their Shelbyville neighbors because they steal a lemon tree. Well, no matter how silly it may seem, in 2013 this happened in Houston , Texas .
His neighbor was robbed of his lemon tree and his attachment to him was so much that he tried to contact the thieves through the local news channel. He left an ironic and angry message in the middle, something like "I hope they were sick with dysentery on a long journey in the middle of nowhere and that's why they needed my lemons at all costs. I hope they serve them."
The day of beating
We all remember chapter 20 of season 4, The day of beating . A chapter to vindicate the injustice of the persecution of animals like the serpent, reviled, from what I know, the Genesis?
Well, the humble people of Florida did not get the lesson and the state forestry officials created in 2013 something called The Python Challenge , whose motto was "Every python extracted from the system is a great benefit." So hundreds of hunters had a great time for a month in the Everglades National Park until they captured and killed 68 of these reptiles, organizers said.
Smartwatch
In episode 19 of season 6, Lisa's wedding , Lisa visits a fortune teller who reads fortune in a medieval market. We travel then to a distant future where not only smart watches appear with voice recognition and the possibility of telephone calls, but also other advances, unlikely in 1995 , such as video calling. Now totally current.
