Parece o conto O garoto que previu terremotos de Margaret St. Clair. Foi publicado pela primeira vez no 1950. Você também pode ter visto o episódio da Galeria Noturna de Rod Serling.
Ele tem um rádio ou um programa de TV onde conta o futuro sobre a descoberta de caminhantes perdidos, etc.
"Herbie's broadcast generates a sensational global response, as his predictions are rebroadcast around the world and millions of viewers have become convinced that he can accurately read the future. The boy and an unnamed narrator, pursued by ecstatic fans, are forced to take refuge in a skyscraper hotel located near the broadcasting studio. The rejoicing crowds cheer Herbie from far below; close to the top of the building, all he and the narrator can see are sun and sky. "
O ponto principal que corresponde é que o garoto em questão acaba mentindo sobre o sol se tornar nova para evitar um pânico.
Herbie reports that he has seen a scene enacted in the near future which he could not understand until his childhood research in astronomy has explained it to him: he has learned about something called a "nova." What he has really seen, and had not wanted to tell his audience, was that "tomorrow – the sun is going to explode."
