I think this explanation sounds more plausible that the one I think we were given in the story. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie so I'm hoping this wasn't also the explanation there. When I remembered watching it I was shaking my head at the shaky science (and I was just a high schooler that volunteered at a science museum) but getting teary about the end nevertheless. So much do you bet that Clark was researching this for some reason and went back in time, freaking this scientist out? *edit* My 1000th post! I'm "Top Banana" now!

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
