Type R,

The best carrier of information humans have is the electromagnetic wave properties (speed, frequency, and amplitude), which therefore means, or implies, that any information about any event is limited to the restrictions inherent in the wave carrier.

To illustrate this further, just imagine that only the sound waves were available carriers of information, and that we were lacking light sense (the eyes), what would have been an interpretation of events especially those like thunder? Sometimes I am tempted to interpretate that a loud thunder occurred outside my house, just to later on realise that it hit a tree 5kms away from my house.

On the other hand, what if actually there is an information carrier that can travel faster than light? It is speculated that beyond the speed of light, time is negative (speculations too have it that there is a possibility of some form of information carriers traveling faster than light).

In essence therefore, an intelligent being that can see events using means other than our normal means of information transmission and reception can see the future before the present, or events in the past as at present, or to see the past, the present, and future as at now.
