gollark: What does a warp drive have to do with this?
gollark: Like I said, if you could reliably get future information/transmit information backward in time, that would be ridiculously powerful.
gollark: Wait, presupposes that *god* can do that (which is required if said god is omnipotent), or that *people* can get future information?
gollark: Oh, and if you can get answers on yes/no questions about the future that also allows you to transmit information backward through time, obviously.
gollark: If you could tell the future that way, there would already be autodivinators (or, if you can't do that, many minimum-wage people flipping coins) used for picking stocks.
