Obviously a hypothetical scenario. There is no way to pass on the knowledge to anyone else. Time freezes for you only, and once you have your answer you are out of this world.
The question can allow you to see into the past, present and future and gain comprehension of any topic/issue. But it’s only one question.
Edit: the point isn’t “how to cheat death”. You can’t. Your body is frozen and there is nothing you can do with this knowledge other than knowing it, and die. So if you would rather be frozen in a limbo just thinking of numbers for eternity, be my guest.
Such a variety of replies, it’s been really interesting to read them!
What would you want to know? Personally I’d want to see a timelapse or milestone glimpses of humanity’s future until the end of Earth’s existence (if we survive that long)
With how the universe and its sense of humor works, it would probably end up being something simple like “you didn’t clean out your faucet aerator and the bacteria growing on the scum caught inside was poising you”.
In a related note, this is a reminder for everyone to clean out your faucet aerators if you haven’t done that this month.
This month?!
You’re supposed to do it monthly, yes. But you can probably go longer if you have new pipes and a sediment filter. I have to do mine monthly because the aerators clog up with dirt and sand and slow the flow down, but I’m on county water, and every location is different.
