Unrelated, but somewhat interesting in Hindu cosmology and ancient scriptures the edges of the bubble of the universe store everything happening, that has happened and is to happen.


Same in actual cosmology, it is called the holographic principle. The concept is that 3D bodies can be losslessly represented on a distant 2D plane which envelops them or alongside the spherical perimeter of a black hole if they are squished to it

It is not all that applicable, but it is interesting to think about and there are people studying it


"The past, present and future are only illusions, even if stubborn ones." — Albert Einstein in a letter to a friend


Can we tap into this to make predictions about the future?


Only spiritual beings on other planetary systems can, who have "siddhi" (powers beyond mundane earthly humans). The message of the Gita however is tapping into all of this is a waste of time as you want to escape from it (moksha/salvation/liberation)
