Just before death you are granted one truthful, understandable answer to one question. What would you want to know?

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)

  • What do I need to do from now, until the day I die, to be the happiest possible?

    • Well in this scenario you are already on your last breath so perhaps ask to know something that will make you as happy as you could ever be?

      • My bad I didnt see that. I like what you wrote, if you are in your last breath, might as well enjoy your last seconds and leave with a smile.
