Question
Does science believe in intuition and predictions.

Can a person foresee or predict ones future in a way that is explainable in science?

We know that time is considered as the fourth dimension after three dimensions of space.
So, can it be true that whatever has to happen in time till infinity has always existed i.e that all the future events that have to happen in future have already been fixed(destined to take place) or have already happened and we just travel through time to reach all events as we do in space by reaching from one place to another travelling in a specific direction.

If this is possible, don't you think some people who claim to foresee the future events can actually see them or feel them by a process which can be explained by the science.

What do you say about Nastradoomus

Answer
Your hypothesis is certainly one that others have considered a possibility.  The problem is that there's no way to test this idea.  Thus, it's nothing but conjecture.

As for Nostradamus... I think little about his predictions.  Anyone, including you or me, could make a vague "prediction" as he did, and with enough time gone by, it would be relatively easy for someone in the future to say, "Oh, look... THIS is what he was talking about."  

If you want predictions to really impress someone, make them dead-on specific... not vague, symbolic things.
