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)

    I would ask for every digit of π and then have infinite time to learn to turn out a consciousness reciting numbers at me.

      One of my favourite pet theories is that if the god of the bible exists the reason we haven’t heard of them since 1 Kings 7:23 is because they’re still reciting the digits.

      turn out

      I assume you’re tuning it out and not pimping it? If that’s your line though, I guess you gotta learn to pimp in every situation.
