> Personally, I don't believe there is an unchangeable future... neither in the capital 'D' Determinism sense, nor the 'has already happened' sense, nor the 'can travel to a real existing future or past' sense. I believe there is only now. (Although I've had some experiences that could be construed to contradict that.)
So no block universe guy you, eh? If there were a block universe, some people might have the ability to move their consciousness to different times, like moving a play cursor through an audio file.
> Relating to current, or non-God-prophets, such as a psychic/fortuneteller making event predictions... a number of beings can find out about events that have been scheduled by powerful forces, and then tell others about it, these revelations can seem Deterministic when they are simply controlled in the present.
In other words, some people are just good predictors, extrapolators. Futurists make careers on this.
I don't have a theory for how it works – beyond some kind of wave transmission – but I have this gut feeling that it is possible to sense a future event.
