We cannot by any current laws of physics "see" the future. On one hand, we can do our best to predict it, and on the other hand, we can slow down time via near-light-speed travel, but we will always see in the "present", regardless.

We cannot.....but I can, even now I can see you reading this post and thinking "Damn.... this post is gonna get best god damned answer cause it's just that good." Then you are going to get up and take a huge dump that will leave you feeling light and refreshed.
That, my friend is the FUTURE.
To the other people in here, predicting the future and seeing the future are not the same. And for those Einstein geeks, just because traveling near the speed of light slows time still does not put me in the future nor does it allow one to see the future, you may experience time at a different rate but at no time are you in the future. Seeing the future means you remain in the present.

we cannot see the future though we can be in it.
einsteins special relativity says that as an object approaches the speed of light the time on the moving object will appear to run slower than the clocks on the stationary point of reference. the same effect of time dialation will also occur if we are under tremendous gravitational force. so by travelling quickly, there is an apparent increase in the time of the stationary frame of reference. thus when we stop moving we will be in the future.

We see it all the time when it becomes the present (whether we want to or not). Seriously, though, a fast enough spacecraft going on a long enough round trip would bring us back to earth many years ahead of ship time. But something like that is in our future.

The future can be predicted with a certain amount results at times.
If you swing your hands together in a clap,there is a good chance you can predict that they will touch in the very near future!

as far in the future look at a wall in a room and walk to it if you don't fall or trip or get shot I would say that's as far as you can see

not for ordinary people... however there have
been extraordinary people throughout history
that have demonstrated that it is possible to
see something before it happens... At the
highest spiritual states, time ceases to exist,
and all times are equally accessible to see
for one in that state...

It's impossible to see what's yet to happen. So no. We live in the present.
