- Déjà Vu Is history repeating itself? The Déjà Vu blog investigates... Stunt Doubles — A publicity stunt may have caused the crash of the Costa Concordia, and in 1926 a candy company wounds its intended audience. A Vision of Infinite Space — In 4th century China, the heavens were empty of substance, but the 21st century government has again committed to a space program.
