A person who sees the future is often called a prophet, seer, clairvoyant, or precognitive.
These terms have slightly different connotations:
- Prophet typically refers to a person who receives divine messages or visions and shares them with others.
- Seer is a more general term for someone who can see into the future, often through supernatural means.
- Clairvoyant refers to someone with the ability to perceive things beyond the five senses, including future events.
- Precognitive is a more scientific term for someone who experiences premonitions or precognitive dreams.
While these terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences in their meanings.
It's important to note that the existence of these abilities is a matter of debate and there is no scientific evidence to support them.
