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)

    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.

    Congratulations, every worst experience and death you ever read about? Now you’re getting hands on experience of it!

      The ask is so I can feel a connectedness to and understanding of reality; if I just ask for the good stuff I’m lying to myself. So yes all of the worst things but that’s a pessimistic view on it because there is a lot of joy and life out there too. And in actuality the huge bulk of what I experience would just be stars roaming around anyway
