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)

    To quote King Missile, “there are no points”

    There is no point to life
    There is no point to death
    There is no point in continuing our meetings
    There is no point in not continuing our meetings

    There is no point in going out
    There is no point in staying in
    No point in gaining weight
    And no point in staying trim

    There is no point in answering the phone or opening the mail
    There is no point in getting drunk or doing drugs
    And there is no point in staying sober

    There is no point in needing someone
    And no point in being alone
    There is no point in doing nothing
    And no point in not doing nothing

    These are all good points, yet none of them lead anywhere
    None of them are points at all
    There are no points
    There is no point

        Look I thought we just went over this and there is no point. Now you’re saying there are multiple?!

      Nihilism is based, and if you ever feel down because there’s no point, just watch Gurren Lagann and embrace the potential for a better tomorrow through nihilism
