Evidence of things not seen - Fishing

The future will not be seen nor make itself present, yet it has effects. 

Therefore its existence can be proved indirectly by observation of its effects. For example Black holes cannot be seen but can be observed and proved via their unique effects being observed on nearby stars. 

Alternatively the future can be observed indirectly by making a factor influence it and following the factor you introduced. For example like Jaws being harpooned with a yellow barrel.


Or Ahab seeking Moby Dick through the reports of other sailors and the flock of seagulls that accompany  him.
