How can God know the future?

I once had a job where I to sit for long hours monitoring a machine that required minimal attention. So, I time to ponder this one. I think there are four questions that would need to be answered to make sense out of "How can God know the future?". (This would also apply to understanding predestination since one aspect of predestination is how God and the future relate.)

1) What is God's velocity and His distance from the nearest gravitational bodies?

How time flows is a factor of velocity and gravity, therefore to understand how God perceives time you must know His velocity and the gravitational fields He is in. (The velocity and gravity part is a well establish part of Einstein's theories.)

2) Before God created anything how much time passed?

Time is measured by events. What does it mean to say time passed if there were no events?

3) How does an uncreated being differ from a created being?

4) How does a creator differ from His creation?

Note that this is a little different from 3) which asks about the difference in natures. This question goes to the relationship as it regards the existence.


I cannot tackle these four questions, so I am quite sure that I cannot tackle the primary question. My best answer is that mixing God and time leads to confusion.
