Interesting: everyone can see into the future.

NO clairvoyant needed as we all do it. According to researchers, it takes everyone about 1/10 of a second to see what happening right NOW.
Quote:
Assistant Professor Mark Changizi says that it takes nearly one-tenth of a second for the brain to perceive what the eyes see.

To compensate for such neural delays, he claims, the visual system has developed the ability to generate perceptions of what will occur one-tenth of a second into the future. Changizi says that it is due to this quality of the visual system that when an observer actually perceives something, it is the present rather than what happened one-tenth of a second ago.

Everything you react to before the 10/th of a second is your brain compensating for what it sees and reality. Dont get too uppity, if we can do it, every animal that has eyes also probably have the very same ability.

I feel it should be mentioned that this ability is limited to movement because there is no way when i click on a random link on the web that my brain can predict what its going to come up with.
