I recently came across an article in Scientific American detailing the nature of gravity in the universe. Unlike electromagnetism(light) which propagates in 3 dimensions, gravity propagates in 4 dimensions. If gravitic waves can carry information like light waves can, it should be possible to directly access information from the past, future, or alternate realities. Perhaps this is how the Prophets and psychics did their thing.
