I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool if you could see just 5 seconds into the future constantly? Not enough to really change the outcome of world events, but just enough to see it coming.

Our recent threads have focused on being mentally prepared to deal with a situation. I wonder, is it possible to be able to almost predict what will happen in the next 5 seconds, all the time. Seems like I know people kinda like that, an older Seargent from Iraq, one of our construction field superintendents, my brother the physicist...each seems to be constantly able to anticipate what's about to happen, within their particular realms that is. It is almost like they know what is coming, just before it gets there. You could call it the Annakin Skywalker effect I suppose.

I think being able to accurately predict what's about to happen all the time is a possible trait, but it requires a lot of discipline, and a fair amount of knowledge. The chance for success is inversely proportional to improbability (see Hitch-hiker's guide to the Galaxy).
