If you could know the specific details of your future - exactly what would happen in your life, up to and including how you would die, would you want to know?
Do you believe you can change your future or is it all fate/destiny - set in stone - nothing you can do?

i wouldn't want to know. and i don't believe that your future is set in stone. i believe that every day i make choices and every one of those choices even the choice to go to the grocery store or not can alter the path of my life. to think that i actually have no control over the smallest decisions in my life doesn't seem to make sense to me.

I wouldn't want to know my future. Paradoxically life is meaningless without the mystery and success without the struggle.
I am not sure about the changing fate thing. That is a very good question. Maybe if I got up right now and started a company it would lead to a different pathway, but then some would argue that THAT was what was what would have happened anyway because your email spurred me to do it. I am conflicted on this one. I think I like to believe in fate, that someone was looking down on me when I had a narrow escape or something, that one finds true love no matter what. And I think on balance I lean that way. But I also have a scientific eye, and that eye says absolutely no way is there fate or destiny. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You work hard you have more chance of getting ahead than your similar counterpart who is a screw up. But science can't explain love or other metaphysical things like that. I believe in fate but maybe that belief will foster the right mental approach for my hopes to be realised. I think belief in a positive future is a healthy thing for all of us. So what if the scientists are right!

Yes, future can be seem and it can be known. Scientifically, there are mutant superhuman who can read and see the future. Superstitiously, it will be fortune tellers or horoscope or other mean of telling the future.
However, we can't change ones fate unless someone intervenes your fate and your destiny because by interrupting fate, the risk of unknown destiny factor is high. e.g. Final Destination 1 2 3 movies.
Why the future can be seem?
u and me are running a 100m track at the same time and u have won the race. Didn't u have reached the future of yours than my future? The future U have won and my future I have lost the race.

No, I do not want to know what the future will bring. I believe that my future has been already planned by the almighty God.

I think that even if we knew the future, if we did something to change it there would be big consequenses. Better to know that whereever life takes you, you should take it one step at a time and enjoy it as much as you can.
Now if I could change the past? Wowee things would be different.

No, I wouldn't want to know anything about my future.
If someone told me all about my future, it would occupy my mind too much.
It would feel like someone had taken my freedom to create my life away from me.
I really do think, fortune-telling takes that freedom away from you.
