Imagine the burden of believing that you can actually [really] figure something out!
I also pointed out that this is equivalent to O(1) (constant) time-complexity in complexity theory. The Universe can compute all of its own, eternal consequences instentaneously.
This vantage point from which all time is equidistant is what Christians call God's omnipresence.
And thank God for small favors. Imagine what man might do if he really knew what was going on?!
