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)

Did my childhood dog really go live on a farm in the country?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When I was younger, we lived on a little farm outside town. Some people from town couldn't take care of their golden any longer, so the dog came to live with us.

About a year later, they asked if they could bring their kid by to visit, because he found out that "went to live on a farm" was usually a lie.

How does priority work in MtG?

In actuality though I'd probably kick up a reincarnation loop by asking for the full experience of every living and inanimate thing the universe has to hold, starting with everyone/everything I ever interacted with and branching exponentially from there.

Tell me all the digits in Pi or some other irrational number so that I can get pseudo eternal life.

Since we have a wish-granting entity then that means the supernatural is somewhat real and I use my newfound time as well as the frozen world to learn everything I wanted and possible ascend beyond humanity.

Assuming you aren't just forced to stay and listen to the numbers of Pi for the rest of infinity.

You're dead, you wouldn't just be allowed to walk around.
